A group of Catholic nuns is challenging the state of New York, which has ordered them to abandon their religious beliefs or close their nursing home. The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne operate the 42-bed Rosary Hill Home, which provides terminally ill patients without charging them anything. The state claims that the nuns have broken the commandment that pronouns are more important than prayer and that gender identity should determine who is a man or woman, not God-given biology. The lawsuit alleges that the state's edict violates the First Amendment. The nuns have gone to court rather than bow to the state, arguing that their Catholic identity is not to be changed.
