text: On the other hand, another Obamacare benefit to the Catholic Church (and all churches) is that they are exempt from having to provide COBRA to employees that are terminated. I just found that out the hard way - a new pastor came in, he wants his own people in place, so he terminated my position (DRE) and I can't get COBRA. The same night I learned of this rule, I attended a Confirmation class where the topic was Mission and we discussed Matthew 25. Where is the social justice in this policy? Where are the marchers/demonstrators trying to protect the unemployed who are in this situation? I guess they follow Matthew 23 instead!
