You *are* aware of the following facts, yes? Specifically:

1) The Catholic Church apparently will cover Viagara if you are a single male. *Clearly* against Church teachings.

2) They will cover Viagara without "checking" on the wife as to whether or not she can have or even wants children.

3) They'll cover it for men who have remarried. This is despite the fact that, in the eyes of the Church, unless they got an anullment first, they are bigamists since the Church does not recognize civil divorce. To be fair, they do not ask if the man has remarried after the death of his wife - getting married after the death of a spouse is, of course, recognized.

The Viagara / Contraception debate further exposes the hypocrisy here.
