You’re too kind. After that person’s first statement, I would have been doubled over laughing and might have made that person angry. ;o)

They could hardly be more available if they were in every bag of M&Ms in America.

Excellent letter. This sentence did make me chuckle because I think chocolate may actually be more expensive than birthcontrol.

I look at it this way: there are many things that government can demand that a religious entity not do. If your religion prescribes human sacrifice, government can lawfully restrain you from doing it, or punish you after the fact. In this case we have government mandating what a religion must do, or, in other words, dictating the terms of a person's belief system.

Exactly.
And what they're demanding we do (not just the Catholic Church and its institutions, but all religious missions which have employees, and in fact, every employer in America) is to provide for mortal sin as a benefit.

Rolling eyes at the folks who can just blithely ask for this. Yes it is partly a Catholic (and other Christian) religious liberty issue, and it’s a plain old taxpayer issue too. Is the notion of US freedom now collapsed into the “freedom to demand and get whatever you jolly well please on somebody else’s dime”?

Great letter unfortunate it took the HHS to overplay it's hand for many Catholics to learn of the church position on contraception. I remember when the pill first came on the market asking parish priest about it and was told it was a matter of personal conscious. I wondered for years why the deafening silence from the pulpits about the horror of abortion until I figured out the unholy alliance of the bishops and the DNC. We have a new crop of clergy now who have decided to align themselves to God and the Holy Father so lets pray it's not to late to win hearts and minds.

Obviously that “parishoner” was a politically active liberal democrat, who has little or no idea what the church is all about (once a year on Easter?)

Maybe she should read this:
The moral conscience, both individual and social, is today subjected, also as a result of the penetrating influence of the media, to an extremely serious and mortal danger: that of confusion between good and evil, precisely in relation to the fundamental right to life. A large part of contemporary society looks sadly like that humanity which Paul describes in his Letter to the Romans. It is composed "of men who by their wickedness suppress the truth" (1:18): having denied God and believing that they can build the earthly city without him, "they became futile in their thinking" so that "their senseless minds were darkened" (1:21); "claiming to be wise, they became fools" (1:22), carrying out works deserving of death, and "they not only do them but approve those who practise them" (1:32). When conscience, this bright lamp of the soul (cf. Mt 6:22-23), calls "evil good and good evil" (Is 5:20), it is already on the path to the most alarming corruption and the darkest moral blindness. (Evangelium vitae)
