California Demands Church Pay $3.8 Million in COVID Fines Even Though SCOTUS Struck Down Its Worship Ban

(Lifenews) All they did was meet together for worship in obedience to the Word of God. Then the government started fining them. Now, officials have shown up with a warrant and are interrogating their employees. The worst part of all is that the Supreme Court has twice ruled in favor of Calvary Chapel San Jose, yet still state and local governments are harassing them.

First it was California Governor Gavin Newsom (D), who clung to one of the nation’s strictest lockdowns far longer than science or prudence could justify. Eventually, the Supreme Court intervened to end what had been nearly a year-long ban on indoor worship. But while churches opened elsewhere in the state, officials in Santa Clara County declared “indoor gatherings of all kinds remain very risky.” Six justices curtly overruled the county’s worship ban, perhaps annoyed by the brazen way in which the county flaunted their earlier decision.

But the county still wants to extort their pound of flesh. They insist the church must pay $3.8 million in bogus fines because the church refused to comply with the unlawful worship bans. The county has also threatened the church’s mortgage holder and bank if those private companies don’t aid the county in retaliating against the church. They also demanded the church turn over the names of members, volunteers, and donors (which would expose them to everything from official government harassment to unofficial “doxing”), as well as “financial records to prove the church just opened ‘for the money,’” explained

  1. I am making a good salary from home $1300-$2600/week , which is amazing, under a year back I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and ADq now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,

    Here is what I do…. …………….. Visit Here

    1. Start making money this time… Spend more time with your family & relatives by doing jobs that only require you to have a computer and an internet access and you can have that at your home. Hax Start bringing up to $65,000 to $70,000 a month. I’ve started this job and earn a handsome income and now I am exchanging it with you, so you can do it too.

  2. This case will be a very important one. They are going to go after churches now. “Give us your membership list.” I also predict that all those greedy churches who took the “free” PPP money are going to regret that day when the government will threaten to call it back (just because they claim it is “forgiven” doesn’t mean anything in this lawless country anymore) if you don’t bow and scrape. I have yet to hear of one single church who truly needed the money (beyond those who had to shut down their preschool programs suddenly) beyond getting the “free money” so many kept repeating like robots. That “free money” has golden handcuffs that churches don’t realize yet.

    1. I make 85 dollars each hour for working an online job at home. KLA I never thought I could do it but my best friend makes 10000 bucks every month working this job and she recommended me to learn more about it. The potential with this is endless.

  3. Save democracy and defeat the virus!!! Shut down these domestic terrorist Talibangelical churches and arrest their leaders 🇺🇸🇮🇱🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

    1. Vaccinations have not and will not ‘defeat’ the Chinese Flu, dumbass. Most new cases are FULLY VACCINATED individuals. Let’s go Johnny!
      *insert tiny flags here denoting I am neither a godless sodomite or mentally ill*

    2. Johnny, it’s time to get freedom from your obvious pathetic miserable life. Trying opening the Bible and read to help release the demon that obviously has you.
