LifeoftheLay, On the first point I agree with you. Catholic self-funded money -- Catholic rules. If those rules are to treat Catholics only, then okay.

To do that would not leave a favorable view of Catholicism in the minds of the public, but such a rule is acceptable. Their money -- their rules.

Understand, this is NO federal or state or local tax dollars -- not for salaries, equipment, research, recruitment, advertising of services, land, buildings, uniforms, media access, internet, labs, utility bills, income tax deductions, travel, conventions, workshops, training, food and janitorial services, transportation --- not one red cent of government largess. EVERYTHING self-funded by the adherents or supporters of Catholicism.

On the second point I disagree. No government enforcement of such rules as no federal money would be in need of being audited for proper designated use.
