Maybe the age of the hospital is over.

We Catholics have been pretty worried about the HSS mandate. Bad no doubt but there might be another way to look at it. For all intended purposes Catholics inspired by a spirit of mercy invented the hospital. That isn't gone. Maybe the hospital as we know it today has run its course. Maybe God is sending us a message. Maybe it's time for us to be open to promptings and inspiration of the spirit of mercy to develop a new framework to dispense mercy. Something that can better deal with the problems we face in the modern and emerging world.

God never closes one door without opening another :-)
