If true, the fact that the Catholic Church employs people and pays them a wage suggests that they are in violation of their own principles. With 98% of fertile women using contraception any payments to anyone without full control of how they spend it amounts to support under this definition. Freedom of religion cannot allow the beliefs of individuals or groups to limit access to options available to everyone else. Catholics can condemn the use of contraception all they want but they should not be allowed to place barriers in between their employes and products that are perfectly legal. Religious freedom must be thought of more like free speech. You can try to change someone's mind but you cannot alter their options.
What we can't agree on is whether or not Obamacare is government run healthcare. You will still see a private doctor paid for by private insurance. The only change that has occurred is that the insurance companies made a bargain to pay out more in exchange for a broader customer base (through a government mandate to buy insurance).
