it may seem a fine line Dana, but i think that is the essence of what bothers me about this.

IIRC the muslim company had no written policies regarding pork consumption, just a word of mouth warning. the employee was fired for eating it during her unpaid lunch break.

the catholic company's insurance rider would spell out in detail what is covered and what isn't. it is the individual's responsibility to decide to work there or not. they can do whatever they choose to do with their body as there is no requirement to be catholic in order work there. but to turn around and sue a company that is tied (but not closely enough) to the catholic church for not including BC in insurance coverage, knowing full well that BC isn't compatible with church doctrine?
