Québec [Baptist] Church Sues Provincial Gov’t for Requiring COVID Passports to Enter Places of Worship

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms will be representing the Baptist Church of Saint Augustin and Pastor Rev. Guillaume Roy.

QUÉBEC CITY, Québec (LifeSiteNews) – A Québec Baptist church has filed legal action against its provincial government because it mandated COVID jab passports to attend places of worship, arguing such dictates violate freedom of religion.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) will be representing the Baptist Church of Saint Augustin along with its Pastor Rev. Guillaume Roy. The JCCF announced its application for judicial review on behalf of the church and pastor against the Québec government in a press release sent out late last week.

According to the JCCF, Pastor Roy’s application argues that COVID jab passports “violate Charter-protected freedoms of religion, conscience, association, peaceful assembly, and the right to bodily autonomy.”

“Pastor Roy’s application for judicial review also asks the Court to rule on the government’s failure to consolidate new decrees and orders, which made it almost impossible for the average citizen to understand the law,” says the JCCF.

According to Roy, “We are asking the courts to sanction the abuses committed by the provincial authorities. Never again should we accept that medical officers trade their white coats for sergeants’ uniforms and, in a sort of germaphobic delirium, close churches.”

“The Churches are the people’s sanctuaries, not the enforcement arm of the government.”
