Catholic Hospitals that do not Follow Church Teaching


Father,
I’ve been listening a lot on KWKY about the HHS mandate and wondering how a Catholic hospital is currently able to administer contraceptives as well as perform sterilization procedures?

Patti,

The short answer is that there is no way that a truly Catholic institution can justify administering contraceptives or performing sterilizations. They make varied arguments to justify their behavior but in the end there is no justification and to do so it is at odds with the constant moral Tradition of the Church and the Magisterium.
