December 15, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The United States Supreme Court reversed a pair of lower court rulings that sided with COVID-19 restrictions over the religious liberty claims of churches on Tuesday, ordering the courts to reconsider the cases in light of its decision last month against similar health measures New York attempted to impose on religious institutions.
SCOTUSblog reports that the orders concern rulings against High Plains Harvest Church in Colorado and both Christian and Jewish houses of worship in New Jersey. Both cases contested attendance limits placed on religious institutions that were not equally applied to secular ones, with the latter case also arguing that New Jersey’s mask mandate was applied more strictly to religious gatherings than secular establishments.
The nation’s highest court ordered the lower courts to reconsider the cases in light of the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision last month in favor of Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn against capacity limits imposed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
“Even in a pandemic, the Constitution cannot be put away and forgotten,” the Court ruled in November. “The restrictions at issue here, by effectively barring many from attending religious services, strike at the very heart of the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious liberty,” and “cannot be viewed as neutral because they single out houses of worship for especially harsh treatment.” . . .
Very uncharitableI say let them gather and infect each other.
In all charity, 10% of his congregation has died of Covid? That is more than the percentage in the general population, which ranges around 1 - 2 %.10% of his congregation have died of Covid
Again in all charity, our parish has Mass every day as always. We use social distancing, face masks and hand sanitizers. I have attended and I have also watched many Masses online from my parish and other parishes around the country. I have yet to hear people coughing and hacking at any of the Masses, in person or online.I viewed the Mass Sunday night. I could hear people hacking and coughing during the service.
Nothing uncharitable about it.
How about an attitude of wanting to corporately worship God and societal fairness?I have no sympathy for church people that gather with an attitude of arrogance and ignorance.

His claim not mineIn all charity, 10% of his congregation has died of Covid? That is more than the percentage in the general population, which ranges around 1 - 2 %.
HearsayRecently was told by a funeral directors family member that the numbers are not matching up. People are people labeled as dying of Covid when it clear they have died of something else - such as heart attack, falling down the stairs, car accidents…
You are fortunate that you have not heard coughing or hacking. But that is not believable. I’ve never attended a Mass and not heard at least one person cough. And when incense is being used during the Mass, at least a half dozen are coughing. I can’t even breathe when incense is being used. I have leave the Church, go out to the car and use my inhaler. If I see before hand they are warming up the Thurible in the Sacristy, I sit at the back door with the door ajar so I can breathe fresh air. So I find your claim outlandish to say the least.Again in all charity, our parish has Mass every day as always. We use social distancing, face masks and hand sanitizers. I have attended and I have also watched many Masses online from my parish and other parishes around the country. I have yet to hear people coughing and hacking at any of the Masses, in person or online.
Not true if you buy from Walmart online and they bring your order out to your car.I am sure those who say they can not attend a 40 minute Mass spend that much time at Walmart.
True enoughPeople need God right now more than ever and more than anything else.
If it involves arrogance and ignorance?How about an attitude of wanting to corporately worship God and societal fairness?
Should those hacking and coughing stay home?I went to a big box store two weeks ago. I could hear and see people hacking and coughing during their shopping.
Good point MagdalenaRita!Recently was told by a funeral directors family member that the numbers are not matching up. People are people labeled as dying of Covid when it clear they have died of something else - such as heart attack, falling down the stairs, car accidents…
The link to the above story is shadow-banned on Google even with quotes (later I may go to my own posts and find and post it or try to scroll down far enough to see where Google hid it from you. Or attempt to find it on Duckduckgo. The fact that Google is shadow-banning it, is instructive in and of itself regarding their propagation of propaganda.)San Diego Supervisor Says Only 6 Of 194 Coronavirus-Recorded Deaths ‘Pure’ Coronavirus Deaths

A Colorado man who died of alcohol poisoning had his death classified as due to the coronavirus, possibly shedding light on a skewed virus death toll in the state, according to a report on Thursday.
Sebastian Yellow, 35, was found dead by police on May 4. Montezuma County Coroner George Deavers later determined that his death was due to acute alcohol poisoning. His blood-alcohol content measured in at .55. . .

But…but…freedom to not be infected with Covid-19 by OthersBut…but…freedom of religion
No. They give a primary cause of death. Then secondary causes.What’s the big deal?
I was going to argue the same position.Apparently the Supreme Court has no grasp of public safety. I guess if you can’t see the virus it must not exist.
