“We are not political activists at all. But we fear that the mandate could set a precedent for greater government intrusion into our ministry,’ Sister Constance Veit, a spokeswoman for the group, told The New York Times this week.
the good sister is right on this. anytime the government can force their will on religion, it is another step to eliminating the constitution. and you can bet that a future court may just hold that churches have to perform gay marriages as a result of this ruling.
Nice spin.
They can opt out of providing birth control coverage in their employee's insurance if they fill out a form. They went to court because filling out the form violated their religious principles. The court ruled that they must fill out the form to get the exemption.

Have any churches been forced to marry any mixed race couples, divorced couples, interfaith couples? NO, so your post is moot, it will never happen, Loving verses Virginia did not force any church to marry any interracial couple and the decision on marriage equality will not force any to marry a same sex couple. The decision was about secular marriage, get it for all of you that seem to ignore it. The decision for marriage equality was for SECULAR Marriage, your precious churches are safe and sound as they always have been.

a little reading comprehension goes a long way, note that i said a FUTURE COURT, just may use this ruling as a precedent to force churches to perform gay marriages. try understanding what someone write as a FUTURE POSSIBILITY and not a current one.
If I told you 30 years ago you wouldn't be able to smoke in bar and some baker was going to have to bake a cake for anyone that walked in the door you would have told me I was nuts.

Just practice self control, and there won't be a need for birth control.
