Letter to the editor: Supreme Court and the 'unfaithful'

Tribune-Review | Monday, December 7, 2020 9:00 a.m.

So, if they are the “faithful,” then… ?

On the front page of the Nov. 27 print edition, you featured an Associated Press article highlighting the Supreme Court’s split decision against covid-19 attendance limits for religious worshipers in New York (“High court blocks N.Y. coronavirus limits on houses of worship,” Nov. 26, TribLIVE). The print headline was “Supreme Court sides with faithful.” Your online headline for the article, which was the same in many other media outlets, used the phrase “houses of worship.”

I wonder, then, if the Supreme Court justices had instead voted to uphold New York’s covid-19 attendance limits for worshippers, would your print headline have been “Supreme Court sides with unfaithful”?
