Actually, he didn't refuse to hear it, he dismissed it. I think we're playing game of semantics because the end result is the same: the case has been kicked out and will not be tried. Because it was dismissed "without prejudice," it can be refiled and may very well be if "harm" can be proven, as you noted. I provided a link to the actual ruling in the story, and I'll include it here, too, so readers can judge for themselves. www.ilcatholic.org/wp-content/uploads/HHS_Lawsuit_Dismissal_-Springfield_Joliet_ChicagoCC02082013.pdf

Allen -

The church believes in if you play you pay. Abstinance is the #1 way of birth control. If you must utilize other ways of it, they look down on it, however you will not be thrown out because you use it. The church lets you get married, if you are divorced, if an annulment is granted! Marriage is supposed to be a commitment, not taken lightly...and it is until "death do you part". The church doesn't throw anyone out for working on Sundays, although it is your obligation to practice your faith, that is why they have some churches with late night mass schedules and Saturdays for all. Please learn about these things before you start talking smack!

Allen? The point is that the Government is forcing the church to perform acts that go against the Roman Catholic doctrine. It isn't about money as much as it is about Separation of State and Church. If the Church can't interfere with Government then Government can't interfere with the Church doctrine.

Your superstitions reflect your ignorance.

be careful space ships are coming to get you

and this is why you posted anonymous....chicken?

Some people who said the British would come and try to take everything over,Some of the people who said that the Union would attack,Some of the people who spoke out against hitler and said he would attack if given the chance..Were all called parinoid of government also...it's not a paranoia of government it is just not keeping quiet nor ignoring how much power the U.S. government has been given....Now anti-Christ and all that stuff makes the point lost...even people who choose not to believe in a god know the power of the government...It is just unreal to not at least keep that in the back of your mind..and also know that every single government that was ever installed from the beginnings of Neanderthals who grouped up to governments installed today ALL have battled their citizens in a form of dicipline/enslavement or to change policies...we are all human and because we chose to follow the laws of man and not follow instincts sometimes is the effect of the sheep being lead to the slaughter house..Time has told this story time and time again....Which is why today so many people are calling for removal of some politicians,and such drastic government change..But the electoral collage is installed to make sure the "People Never " can really vote by popularity or by choice..and only have a president today to protect political corruption otherwise things would of changed a long time ago..Iceland threw out their system and arrested bankers,Judges and Politicians...A real Change.

Lmao that's the way it seems don't it...seems that government talk is for only certain people in certain places,during certain times,...and not supposed to be talked about by the common person but to only sendall of our kids to fight the wars,battles that the government likes to get into...other wise your parinoid....how dare people talk about the government issues....your just supposed to say "Go America" not question...ya start to learn that when your a kid going to church not to question..and the government just eats it up....they know it's creating stupid people...who will all be standing with a dumb founded look on their faces if something was to happen..while the rest of us will have expected it...It's not Government against its people..it's stupid people doing stupid things causing more people to beg and demand government to do something...What can they do? pass a law and use violence to enforce it...

Yep fully aware..and Obama wouldn't tell congress nor the courts if he was using the law before it was found constitutional or not...but it's all just paranoia to the people that let another man or woman decide what's right for them...the people who listen to another human being like that human talks to god themselves...It will only change when it's in the best interests of both...NDAA,CISPA,SOPA.....To these people that's all government talk were not supposed to question.....To me you should question everything and if you believe in it then you should question it Even More....
