Bishop Doran’s statement appears to be ignoring the basic exemption granted by U.S. Department of Health--Churches, Church run grade and high schools are exempt from the regulations. Only church affiliated colleges, hospitals and health organizations are included.
See the posting which follows( http://boonecountycatholics.blogspot.com/2012/01/phoenix-diocese-reacts-to-birth-control.html )—“Specifically, the rule would exempt religious groups that have religious education as their purpose, that "primarily employ" people who share the groups' religious tenets, that primarily serve those whose share the religious tenets, and that are non-profit organizations.”
