    What the fuck even is a catholic hospital? Praying the pain away? Offering a free confession close to death?

    Surely they are not making use of modern medicine based on science that defies their beliefs.

      They’re just hospitals. In fact they’re the biggest group of non-profit hospitals in the country. They are generally speaking a very good thing. The main problem as discussed here is their restrictions on reproductive care, which is a huge problem and should not be allowed. It isn’t even like to be employed there you must be Catholic, or even Christian.

      Catholicism is not Christian science. They don’t reject science, they just view abortion as ending life. If it weren’t for Catholic hospitals, huge swaths of the US (and much of the developing world) wouldn’t have access to healthcare at all.

        They also said abortion up to 5.5 months was good for a very long time and then a random Pope changed it.

        (It was Pious I think)

      Religion makes some BIG BUCKS so they invest in things like universities and hospitals.

      A lot of historical institutions have religious backing.

      I’m not saying I support it. I just follow the money. (Tinfoil hat)
