Mooney is calling the objection to an explicitly Christian prayer in an assembly that includes Jews, and which called for an ecumenical invocation, "censorship."

This is a "free" nation that was based upon Christian principles.
Within that document it clearly states that government cannot establish a religion.
For "lawmaker" to think that they have the power to tell a "free" person how to pray, no matter what religion the "lawmaker" is then something has gotten turned upside down.
There is no way that the opposite situation could occur and there not be the hue and cry of anti-semitism.
Somebody in that legislature has gotten a bit to brazen to think that as a lawmaker they can tell anyone what is an acceptable prayer. It is far worse than "censorship" for any lawmaker to tell someone how and what is acceptable in a prayer.
Would you stand for someone, anyone telling you who to and how to pray? I think not.
