“Let the church render to the bishop the things that are religious, and to medicine the things that are medical. If the Catholic church can't deal with science, it can go back to the Middle Ages. Hospitals can do without bishops a whole lot easier than they can without doctors and nurses.”

well, you see the thing is , it’s not IF the church cant
deal with science…………..it’s that the church CANT
deal with science. never could…..and never will .
and, you dont have to tell the church to go BACK
to the middle ages……..because actually it has
NEVER LEFT the middle ages !!!
oh, the WORLD has progressed greatly in the
centuries since the middle ages,,,,,,but not
the church.
effective contraception and safe abortion have
gravely affected the control the church once had over
peoples’ lives. these advances were provided by
science , to meet real human needs. the responce
from the church remains pathetic.
medicine, as an ever-advancing science, has NO
use for the foolish ” moral ” hand-wringing of the
church.

You are correct R j, no group (religious, corporate, political) has any rights beyond those extend to them by the citizens. It is people who are free, people who have rights.
To suggest that any group has any basis for justifying the denial of rights to any individual is un-American.
Public or private, it doesn’t matter, if the group violates an individuals rights they should be disbanded and forbidden to operate in the US. This should be a zero tolerance policy!
It is a violation of the fundamental tenets of the US Constitution to elevate any group’s rights above the individual.
