一位马萨诸塞州法官已发布初步禁令, 禁止Quincy在其新的公共安全大楼上安装两张天主教圣人Michael和Florian的10英尺长的铜像, A Massachusetts judge has issued a preliminary injunction blocking Quincy from installing two 10-foot-tall bronze statues of Catholic saints Michael and Florian on its new public safety building, citing concerns the display may violate the state constitution’s religious equality clause. 此项决定中止了85万美元的项目,同时提起了诉讼,原告争辨雕像构成政府对宗教的认可。 The decision halts the $850,000 project while a lawsuit proceeds, with plaintiffs arguing the statues constitute government endorsement of religion. 该市认为这些雕像是象征性的,而不是宗教性质的,但法院认定原告的主张充分可信,有理由发出禁令。 The city maintains the statues are symbolic and not religious in nature, but the court found the plaintiffs’ claims sufficiently plausible to warrant the injunction. 在法院评估安装是否会造成持久的宪法损害时,该案将继续下去。 The case will continue as the court evaluates whether the installation would cause lasting constitutional harm.
