No. To my knowledge the church had never before raised such an arcane objection in regard to providing health insurance. To characterize opting out of the contraception mandate by mail as a violation of religious liberty is disingenuous and expands the notion of religious liberty beyond any reasonable standard. NCR's own Michael Sean Winters is rather more harsh than I:

<<There are varieties of mendacity...When I say the permission-slip language is a lie, it is a very specific type of lie. It is not like Bill Clinton saying, ‘I did not have sex with that woman,’ when, as we all subsequently learned, he did have sex with that woman. No, this lie is more like the lies of those who deny climate change. It is the lie of the zealous.>>
