Despite being only a few days away from Christmas vacation, the Trump administration continues to follow through on its commitment to life and religious liberty, with nine different federal agencies finalizing a joint rule this week providing for fair and equal treatment for religious groups in federal programs.

Elections have consequences, and so do lawsuits. In response to the Archdiocese of Washington's lawsuit against D.C.'s church restrictions, Mayor Muriel Bowser eased restrictions on church capacity in the nation's capital. This welcome change comes just in time for more people to attend Mass for Christmas, one of the holiest days of the year. People should not be forced by the mayor to stay home to celebrate our Lord's birth -- especially when people are able to go eat and drink at a local restaurant for the holiday.
