SCOTUS Decision Blocking NY Governor's Limits on Religious Gatherings Praised by Faith Leaders
The U.S. Supreme Court's new conservative majority voted 5 to 4 on Wednesday to bar restrictions on religious services in New York, which had been imposed by Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo to limit the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the state.
Cuomo told reporters in a Thursday morning teleconference that the decision was a way for the new Supreme Court to "express its politics and philosophy." The decision was praised by many faith leaders and conservatives.
"I think that the Supreme Court ruling on the religious gatherings is more illustrative of the Supreme Court than anything else," Cuomo said following the decision. "It's irrelevant from a practical impact because the zone that they were talking about has already been moved, it expired last week. I think this was really just an opportunity for the Court to express its philosophy and politics. It doesn't have any practical effect."

The Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn cheered the ruling after the court sided with the diocese and two Orthodox Jewish synagogues.

Both the Diocese of Seattle and of Phoenix have place limits on Masses due to COVID-19. I was unable to attend my niece's wedding earlier this year because of these.
Pope Francis has encouraged caution as well. Yet somehow the arch-diocese of Brooklyn thinks they are above it all.

I would be having a long talk with the arch-diocese of Brooklyn. Change your view on this, or find another job! 
The beginning of many bad decisions by Amy Covid Barrett.
We must balance the Court.
also would vote to KILL innocent women via criminalizing safe and legal pregnancy termination. She is an evil piece of human garbage that needs to be impeached.
