   Catholic bishops: Biden’s debate remark on contraception mandate not true   
      
   Published October 15, 2012   
      
   FoxNews.com   
      
   America’s Catholic bishops have a problem with Vice President Joe    
   Biden’s claim that religious institutions won’t be required to pay for    
   insurance coverage that includes contraception, sterilization and drugs    
   that may cause abortion.   
      
   They say it isn’t true.   
      
   "With regard to the assault on the Catholic Church, let me make it    
   absolutely clear,” Biden said during his debate with Republican vice    
   presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan on Thursday. “No religious    
   institution -- Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic social    
   services, Georgetown Hospital, Mercy Hospital, any hospital -- none has    
   to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none    
   has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they    
   provide. That is a fact. That is a fact."   
      
   The U.S. Conference of Bishops disagreed, and issued a letter on Friday    
   taking issue with Biden’s position.   
      
   “This is not a fact,” the letter states. “The HHS mandate contains a    
   narrow, four-part exemption for certain ‘religious employers.’ ”   
      
   The bishops argue the White House offered a proposal in February that    
   essentially would have put the responsibility of providing such drugs    
   and services on the institution’s insurance companies. The offer was    
   essentially rejected, and the issue is being played out in roughly 40    
   lawsuits, including one filed by the University of Notre Dame, in 12    
   federal courts across the country.
