flag Quincy, MA, faces legal battle over using public funds for religious statues at a public building.

flag Quincy, Massachusetts, is embroiled in a legal dispute over plans to install two 10-foot-tall bronze statues of Catholic saints at its public safety building, funded by $850,000 in public money. flag Critics argue the project violates the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights by favoring one religion and alienating non-Catholic residents, while the city maintains the statues serve a secular purpose, symbolizing values like truth and justice. flag A group of residents from various faiths has sued, seeking injunctions to halt the project. flag The case is set for a judge’s decision, with potential implications for how religious symbols are handled on public property nationwide.
