I'm focused on refusal to pay because that's the particular concession the government is trying to force.

Be that as it may, the topic of this discussion is: "the "freedom" of the Catholic hierarchy to impose rules that even most Catholics don't live by." You say you don't think that any rules are being imposed. I countered with what I see as the imposition.

That seems off topic to me. The Church is the one doing the imposing mentioned in the quote from Burmar's piece. The Church is doing the imposing by resisting the government's rule. To ascertain whether what the Church is doing is or isn't an imposition on its employees, it doesn't matter what the rule may be.

You are arguing against the prescription in PPACA that requires preventative care, specifically contraception/birth control. I am arguing the point of yours to which I responded, whether the Church's action is an imposition.

I'm all worn out on the former question. I think we've beaten it to death. If you want to stick to the latter question, I'm game.
