Los Angeles Finally Agrees to Supreme Court Worship Ruling: 'No Pastor, Church... Should Have to Choose between Worship and Prison'

News Staff : Dec 22, 2020  CBN News

"We are grateful for the US Supreme Court's rulings that are resulting in the unconstitutional worship bans falling like dominoes." -Mat Staver, Liberty Counsel

The Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit religious rights law firm, said the county's public health department issued a Revised Temporary Order that specifies that houses of worship in Los Angeles can now conduct services indoors with no numerical or percentage caps and only social distancing between separate households.

LA County officials took this action after waiting nearly a month since the US Supreme Court ruled these types of restrictions are wrong. Back in November, the high court had granted an emergency petition on behalf of New York City synagogues and Roman Catholic churches in Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo and Agudath Israel v. Cuomo.

The high court also vacated lower court orders involving the emergency petition in Liberty Counsel's case of Harvest Rock Church in California and Harvest International Ministry. As a result, houses of worship in other states have now received favorable court decisions regarding unconstitutional worship bans.

"We are grateful for the US Supreme Court's rulings that are resulting in the unconstitutional worship bans falling like dominoes," Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said.

"The Supreme Court has made it very clear that the courts and the states must begin applying the First Amendment to protect houses of worship. No pastor, church, or parishioner in America should have to choose between worship and prison," he said.  Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
