MSNBC - Calif. Catholic group must provide birth control
I cannot believe that an organization that has it's base in a religious faith is being told what it can and cannot do when it comes to tenants of a faith. This is why I'm against things like gay marriage and the like. It will end up forcing organizations like this to abide by gay marriage. This will end up hurting charities which will hurt society.

"...the State Supreme Court ruled that the organization did not meet any of the criteria defining a religious employer." (NYT 3-02-04)
I think your uneasiness of courts forcing religious organizations to do things against their religious tenets is reasonable.
But, whoa!!! The Court's decision seemed pretty narrow. It simply said the organization in question didn't meet the criteria of a religious employer.
