“Catholics should be opposed to this overreach of federal power regardless - not seeking special dispensation for themselves.”

Why would you say that Catholics are seeking special dispensation for themselves?

Well to be fair, it's not just Catholics - they are just front and center in the war waged by Obama against private enterprise. They seek to exempt themselves from rules that they should be opposed to as a general overreach of our federal government, and not based on the 1st amendment.

As I said in my post, I believe it is crazy to think that the 1st amendment was ever intended to exempt some people from the power and jurisdiction of the fedgov, and not others.

Their opposition accepts that the fedgov can tell other private organizations what insurance to offer, but not one of organized religion. I think that's a shame.
