Another Protest in Oregon – But This One’s for Religious Liberty
Following Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s 25 percent capacity limit on church attendance, protesters gathered in Salem to protest. “We will not surrender one more centimeter of religious freedom to any government,” said Father Theodore Lange, chaplain of the Oregon Knights of Columbus. “We are here today to speak in one voice: Stop the religious repression,” said Young Tran, a refugee from Vietnam and a member of Our Lady of La Vang Parish in Happy Valley, Oregon. “It happened in our former country, a communist and a socialist country, and it’s starting to happen here now.”

Supreme Court Sets Aside California Ban on Religious Gatherings
Harvest Rock’s 162 member churches sued California in July, arguing Gov. Newsom’s executive order treated houses of worship unfairly. The district court ruled against the churches, but in a short, unsigned order the Supreme Court vacated the decision and instructed the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to send the case back to the district court for reconsideration in light of its Nov. 25 decision that blocked New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 restrictions on places of worship.
