A proposed prayer shrine, known as a grotto, at a Northern Kentucky church has become the center of a legal battle that could reshape how religious organizations use their property across the country.
Two neighbors objected to the shrine and filed suit. Lawyers for the Missionaries of St. John the Baptist say federal religious liberty protections guarantee their right to construct the shrine.
Northern Kentucky churchgoers will have their case heard by the United States Supreme Court in 2027 in what could be a major test of the First Amendment.
