The Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn has asked the Supreme Court to block New York's coronavirus restrictions placed on houses of worship.The diocese is arguing that the order, signed by Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo in early October, unfairly targets religious institutions.The diocese wrote in its filing that the order "expressly singles out 'houses of worship' by that name for adverse treatment relative to secular businesses, and does so in a way that is not narrowly tailored to any compelling government interest, in direct violation of the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause." The diocese is appealing the order in lower courts, but has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in the meanwhile.
