If religious organizations want to be free of government regulation, why do they cooperate in government payments to carry out their mission?
If the mission of a religious (Catholic) hospital is to provide care for the poor and indigent, why don’t they do that WITHOUT government subsidy?
What kind of double-standard does it take to insist they don’t have to follow government regulations as employers based on their “conscience”, but still bill the government for providing the service their “conscience” tells them to?
All opinions welcomed.
