A judge blocks Quincy’s plan to install religious statues due to constitutionality concerns.
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.
The decision halts the $850,000 project while a lawsuit proceeds, with plaintiffs arguing the statues constitute government endorsement of religion.
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.
The case will continue as the court evaluates whether the installation would cause lasting constitutional harm.
