Catholics restrict how paycheck spent?

The Catholic church's restrictions on contraception has been viewed as women's rights, health, or religious issues; but there might be another way of looking at it. I don't know all the particulars and whether this applies; but employer-provided health care is an employee benefit, it's part of an employee's compensation. So, in a way isn't the Catholic church ---based on religious beliefs--- trying to restrict what women can use their compensation/paychecks for?

Marriage not for procreation? Gay couples could get married in order to adopt children together.

The concept that Thom mentioned of marriage being between a rapist and his victim in Biblical times goes even deeper than he said. There's a part of the Bible that allows a war bride to divorce her husband under some circumstance on the presumption that the husband raped her. So the Bible condones the marriage, and because of the aforementioned presumption, it also condones spousal rape.

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
Van Jones, cofounder of RebuildTheDream.com and author of The Green Collar Economy
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
