Sr. Carol Keehan & The HHS Mandate

Sr. Carol Keehan & The HHS Mandate by MSW.  MGB: The four-part test is an attempt to draw a very necessary line.  Without a test, insurance companies can claim to be churches.  Of course, the question of the test is moot if no exception is made at all - which simply maintains that status quo as far as insurance companies covering contraception of all insurance providers including such coverage as required by the EEOC since December 2000.  I will keep bringing this up until MSW and the Church admit that the Administration is being rewarded for its attempts to accommodate the Church more than current law with this bit of nastiness.  They may be better off simply dropping any exemption at all.  As for the outlandish comment that this should be part of the New Evangelization - NO!  If the New Evangelization is merely a justification for continued deference to the hierarchy, we will have none of it.  The New Evangelization should be solely about the Good News of the Resurrection.  As for the lawsuit, if comments are still being taken, it is not ripe and will be thrown out in all jurisdictions because of it - which ads fuel to the speculation that at least someone who promoted this silliness was doing it for political reasons, even if the USCCB was not in on the joke.
