Absolutely which is why I don’t like my church taking government money but not liking it and being unconstitutional are two different matters.
Unconstitutional may not be the right word for it. However, religious institutions who contract with the government will have to play by the rules non-religious institutions have to. What I’m saying is those specific charities cannot stake a special status as religious institutions when they take the states money. For example, if St. Mary’s Hospital and U of Maryland Medical Center(names are made up) both contract with the government, then both have to comply with the governments dictates the same. Thus St. Mary’s Hospital cannot claim its immune to the states dictates because its a religious institution. In the latest controversy, the employees of the St. Mary’s Hospital have to comply to Obamacare like the rest of us. The employees of St. Mary’s Church down the street can claim the exception. Now if St. Mary’s Hospital steered clear of government money, and funded its operation on donations and patient fees, then they can claim the exception.
