The Knights of Columbus filed a lawsuit against the National Park Service for denying a permit to hold its annual Memorial Day mass, citing religious discrimination.
A Catholic service organization has sued the Biden administration for religious discrimination after it was stopped from holding its longstanding Memorial Day mass at a national park. Attorneys for the Knights of Columbus filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against the National Park Service in Petersburg, Virginia, on Tuesday, after officials refused to grant a permit for the religious service at the Poplar Grove National Cemetery.
But attorneys representing the Knights said the group had been allowed to conduct a mass or prayer service at the park every Memorial Day for years up until a recent policy change. 'The National Park Service is way out of line,' First Liberty senior counsel Roger Byron said in a statement. 'This is the kind of unlawful discrimination and censorship RFRA and the First Amendment were enacted to prevent.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the Petersburg National Battlefield and the National Park Service for comment.
