WASHINGTON, D.C., December 12, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — With Christmas less than two weeks away, Cardinal Wilton Gregory is suing Democrat Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser and the District of Columbia over their coronavirus restrictions, alleging these are “arbitrary” and “discriminatory” to churches and will cause “imminent and irreparable harm.”
The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington is represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, which filed the suit Friday evening in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, the Daily Caller reported.
“Under both the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the District’s arbitrary, unscientific, and discriminatory treatment of religious worship is illegal,” the lawsuit stated.
The lawsuit is asking the court to declare that the “50-person cap on religious gatherings violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act; the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause; First Amendment’s protections for free speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of association; and the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause.”
It is seeking temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctions to prohibit Bowser and the District from “enforcing their unlawful policies against Plaintiff’s religious beliefs and activities.”

Or, he could be really hurting for donations, especially during the Christmas season.

This is stunning. When Wilton Gregory turns on the DC Dems, you know the Lord is on his way.
Congratulations to him. I was very cynical about his appointment but I am really impressed by this action. Keep it up!
ohhhhh....black on black......interesting! Gay on gay??? not sure.
If Gregory was a real bishop, he would summarily excommunicate Muriel “Bow Wow” Bowser, who claims to be a lifelong Catholic but is a stone cold baby killer; 15 Black babies are aborted in DC each day.
Sadly, Gregory isn’t......he’s just another lefty Black Democrat......color FIRST!
