Denver branch of Catholic Charities cuts birth control insurance.
2004 APR 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The Denver, Colorado, branch of Catholic Charities said it has eliminated birth control insurance benefits from its policy, after it slipped into the program through an oversight.
"We've just found out ourselves," said James Mauck, a spokesman for the organization. "This is very embarrassing."
Catholic Charities' benefits program was being reviewed because it is due to be renewed at the end of April 2004. But a case in California highlighted the issue and officials started checking.
In California, the state Supreme Court ruled that Catholic Charities of Sacramento must provide birth control options in its employee health plan, even though it violates Roman Catholic church law.
Artificial birth control was condemned in a 1968 papal encyclical as contrary to natural law and a violation of an "inseparable connection, established by God" between sex and procreation.
