Quebec's Catholic bishops oppose a proposed ban on public prayer, arguing it unfairly targets religious minorities.

Quebec's Catholic bishops oppose Premier François Legault's proposal to ban public prayer in parks and other public spaces, arguing it targets minority religious groups and hinders peaceful coexistence. Legault suggested the ban to address controversy over Muslims praying in Montreal streets. The bishops, led by Martin Laliberté, claim the ban is unenforceable and note that public prayer is also practiced by other faiths for charitable purposes.
