Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Question: why the FUCK do you want to work for a Catholic employer if you aren't Catholic (aka follow the doctrine of the Catholic Church)?!

I can pretty much guarantee you they probably can't pay much anyway!!

They own A LOT of hospital systems now too, it's getting ridiculous to even avoid them as a patient

The Catholic Church when you pay to get a rape kit done at a Catholic hospital after being molested by a member of their clergy:

Sometimes you don't have a huge amount of choice when it comes to employment. A lot of schools and hospitals are run by the church.

There’s a lot of companies owned by Catholics that are entirely secular. You only find out when their insurance doesn’t cover contraceptives or abortion.

Or whatever other bullshit Catholics think they can force on you.

Don't lump it all at catholics' feet, the Hobby Lobby owners who filed that first big post-ACA suit on this are evangelical protestants.

This particular lawsuit is being brought by a catholic charity and a diocese. So yes, this one is at their feet.

But yes, it’s not just Catholics.

When you have no money... money is still money.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 1 month ago

money isn't real but I'd like to see you live without it

Hospitals. A lot of hospitals are Catholic based.
