five catholic supreme court judges decided that the concerns of a corporation which holds a religious view which happens to be exactly the view of the catholic church must be respected. However these same five catholic judges went out of their way to say that the religious views of others which are not shared by the catholic church are specifically not included in their decision.. transfusions and vaccination are supported by the catholic church but not be some very common faiths in this country. the majority went out of its way to state that those other religions objections don't count. So this was not a decision based on freedom of religion but rather another decision based on the personal religion of the judges. The exact opposite of what separation of church and state is supposed to represent.
