While caring for the hungry 'requires teams of people to work together in physical spaces ... churches can feed the spirit in other ways,' the court ruled.
June 22, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against an Illinois church suing the state over its COVID-19 restrictions on freedom of religious assembly, potentially setting up another First Amendment showdown before the nations highest court.
In May, Illinois Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker laid out a five-phase plan for lifting the states public-health emergency, which among other things holds that, should COVID-19 cases continue to decline, public gatherings such as religious services would still be limited to 50 people until the release of a vaccine or highly effective treatment widely available or the elimination of any new cases over a sustained period.
In the meantime, churches had been limited to a cap of just ten people, prompting numerous lawsuits from churches all over the state. Under pressure, Pritzker issued a new set of guidelines on May 28, which changed the ten-person limit from a mandate to a suggestion.
Despite the governor backing down, the Christian nonprofit Liberty Counsel (LC) continued its lawsuit on behalf of Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church and Logos Baptist Ministries, noting that Pritzker could still re-impose the limit in the future.
Unless and until there is a judicial declaration that Governor Pritzker has acted unconstitutionally thus far, there is nothing keeping him from changing his mind again, whether in this crisis or any future crisis, LC declared last month.

If a woman is a man then ten people are one hundred people.
so the Police are way to busy checking Churches to worry about all the Murders
Good. If one can protest, one should be able to do whatever else he/she/it wants to. Just don't go to church!
Again, Whatever else he/she/it wants to do. Just do it and just don't go to church!
Ignore his unlawful, unconstitutional orders and dare him to try to enforce them. It would make great news footage of the police hauling people away from attending church.
Just call it a protest.

This article doesn’t identify which judges ruled on this case.
I’m telling you, true churches are gonna have to go underground soon.
What about a protest, also limited to 10 people?
Probably time to rise up, and form a Burning Looting Movement like the BLM did.
Is there a 10 person limit on protests???

Nope.
If the Left doesn’t have to follow “the law” then neither do we.
Make it a point to have 25 people show up - All armed to the teeth.
Try to enforce it.
