    No, doctors and nurses don’t have to be Catholic, and the hospital is just a normal hospital. They even have religiously neutral “meditation chapels” instead of like, a small Catholic shrine.

    I’ve been to this specific hospital. It’s bog-standard health care.

      That’s not true. Link

      Their standards of care are subject to “the Ethical and Religious Directives set by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.”

      Just because you agree with those directives, does not mean they are standard healthcare.

        I know that reading the PDF on that page requires SO many words, but I assure you that the health care they give is just normal health care, as you can see by actually reading the PDF.

        Also I’m not sure what you mean by “agree with those directives” but I don’t give a fuck one way or the other about the hospital, I just know that they’re a normal hospital doing normal hospital shit.

        Nothing in this case had jack shit to do with the hospital being Mercy hospital.

        Perhaps if you have an axe to grind, do it somewhere that doesn’t involve an Ohioan talking about things in Ohio.

          Nah. The second the standard of care is dictated by a religious council it’s not standard. I don’t care what altar they pray at. The very concept is unacceptable.

                You literally have not read the actual standard

                Focus less on being quippy and more on being correct

                  I don’t care about the standard. It could literally have one line reading, “Follow all standards of care and best practices as determined by science in each field.” And it would still be inappropriate.

                  There is no room for religion in determining what medical procedures are valid.
