Catholic Nuns in Pa. Build a Chapel to Block the Path of a Gas Pipeline Planned for Their Property
The Washington Post’s Julie Zauzmer reports that sisters of the Adorers of the Blood of Christ have built a chapel in rural Lancaster County to block the construction of a gas pipeline on their land. The Adorers have 2,000 nuns around the world whose core beliefs include environmental protection and activism. Zauzmer writes, “U.S. appeals court judges have ruled inconsistently on whether federal law protects religious groups from eminent domain in such cases.”
