The entire monstrosity is a compendium of mandates, of which the contraceptive mandate is but one. The USCCB is perfectly fine with the government having the power to mandate individuals to purchase state-approved insurance. They only objected to the particular mandate that only affects Catholics, and indeed a tiny portion of Catholics—those that actually follow Catholic teaching. Really, how many non-Catholics or non-devout Catholics give a flying fig about birth control?

They want to invite the monster in, but expect it to mind its manners.

Well, that's true. But it's not "just" contraceptives, it's contraceptives plus sterilization plus abortion-inducing post-coital drugs, which should concern a much bigger circle of people than just Catholics alone. I am somewhat discouraged that most Christian churches other than Catholics are apparently OK ewith funding free abortion drugs for every female resident of the United States.

Your overall point is true. You don't hear a peep from the USCCB about the fact that all of us, like it or not, are being corralled into this damnable system.
