| description | <p>In Diocese of Brooklyn v. Cuomo (2020), the U.S. Supreme Court held that New York’s religious-attendance restrictions “would lead to irreparable injury” to religious communities and, if enjoined or rejected, “would not harm the public interest.” While the decision largely focused on the state’s unequal treatment of religion, the Court’s brief remarks concerning harm and the public interest merit further attention, particularly from the religious traditions those remarks represent.</p>
<br>
<p>In what follows, I offer a Roman Catholic perspective upon those aspects of the Court’s decision. (I leave an Orthodox Jewish perspective – especially from Agudath Israel of America, associated plaintiffs – to relevant experts.) My discussion focuses upon three areas: first, the relation of church and state during a public-health crisis; second, the importance of public worship, the interruption of which may cause “irreparable injury” for believers; and, third, our public or societal interest in fostering virtue through worship and, even, state law.</p>
<br>
<p>By no means exhaustive in scope, my discussion aims to help substantiate the moral and theological claims the Court has (implicitly) touched upon. It also offers points of reflection, particularly for Roman Catholic communities, as the nation navigates a second year of the pandemic.</p> |
