Hasn’t EWTN just gone to the Supreme Court for a decision? I do not know if they will be included in this, but I cannot see why not. (Musician here, not lawyer).

According to Catholic News Agency, the Hobby Lobby decision, which applies to for-profit businesses, won’t necessarily affect the Irondale nonprofit TV network.
EWTN’s filing came 10 days after a U.S. District Court Judge ruled against the network. Without an injunction, EWTN would be forced to offer contraception to its employees as part of its health care plan beginning July 1.

Don’t know, but my understanding is that Hobby Lobby fought for not having to supply/participate in abortion inducing contraception.

The Catholic view (EWTN) is that they don’t want to be involved in any form of artificial contraception.
