Even huffnpooo have had it on their front page for two days, as for the networks, it made the news here in CA< but I dont watch the news on the mentioned stations. .maybe they're showing it the contempt it deserves?
Interesting post. You suggest they (the networks) are possibly showing contempt for the actions of the Catholic Church? That's a lot of their audience.
When I took arithmatic in grammar school, sister mary penguin made it quite clear that it was impossible to do long division with numbers like "a lot".
In your world what sort of number is "a lot"?

I was under the impression they (the Church) were being forced to offer insurance plans that must pay for contraceptives in their non-church institutions like schools and hospitals and felt this was something they cannot do as it voilates church doctrine and even though they do not force the employees of these non-church institutions to be church members and follow church doctrine they still cannot (be expected to) support non-doctrine actions with church money.
Your "impression is wrong.
They are being forced to obey the law just like eveyone else.

Thus, they have filed suit alleging a violation of religious freedom, I think. Those of you who are history buffs remember Thanksgiving orginated with the Puritans who fled to America for religious freedom.
I would sugest that you acquire a history book written for someone beyond the fifth grade. Just to bring you up to speed until you acquire such a text. The puritans embraced a line from Psalms 2:8.
"Ask of me, and I shall give thee, the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."
So it would appear that god was their real estate agent.
Some Puritans argued that the land belonged to the Indians. These forces were excommunicated and expelled. Massachusetts Governor Winthrop declared the Indians had not "subdued" the land, and therefore all uncultivated lands should, according to English Common Law, be considered "public domain." This meant they belonged to the king. In short, the colonists decided they did not need to consult the Indians when they seized new lands, they only had to consult the representative of the crown (meaning the local governor).

You decided to mention the suit deserves contempt. I can't see why so perhaps you would explain why the suit deserves contempt?
The suit deserves contempt for the reason that it seeks to exempt a particular group from the laws of the u.s. Why is that such a foriegn concept to you?
