Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
Just because a company, religious or otherwise, employs a person does not mean you get to dictate their health care. Could you imagine a society where that was the case? Would employers be allowed to monitor employees interaction with their doctor to make sure none of the employers principals are being infringed upon.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a society in which some employers could dictate no vaccines for certain diseases, no Viagra for unmarried men, no blood transfussions, no medicines that contain alcohol, etc.
Employers employ people. They do not own them. They cannot fire them for health care actions they do not agree with, for personal actions they do not agree with, for religious beliefs they do not agree with. Unless of course they are a religious organization serving a religious denomination. Then they have all those powers.
