Catholic Bishops Back Jewish Prayer Lawsuit, Exposing the Bankruptcy of “Religious Liberty” in a Godless Republic
The National Catholic Register reports that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has filed an amicus brief backing Daniel Grand, a Jewish resident of University Heights, Ohio, in a lawsuit against the city for blocking his home prayer group (minyan). The case, now before the U.S. Supreme Court, challenges the “finality” rule requiring plaintiffs to exhaust all government options before suing. The bishops argue that religious plaintiffs have standing “as soon as a credible threat arises” and that prolonged court processes constitute “constitutional harm.” Grand seeks to host about a dozen friends for prayer at his home, framing it as a simple act of speaking to God. This case reveals the profound theological and spiritual bankruptcy of the post-conciliar Catholic hierarchy’s engagement with secular “religious liberty” within a system fundamentally ordered against Christ the King.
