Kansas House panel backs religious freedom bill
The Kansas House Judiciary Committee endorsed a bill that supporters say protects religious freedom but critics warn could enable discrimination by sexual orientation. The measure would enshrine court decision language on government burdens on religion and allow lawsuits against state and local agencies for abridging religious rights. The Kansas Equality Coalition contends the bill's aim is to target individuals by sexual orientation.

Adams church reopens as chapel mission after protests
Protesters occupied St. Stanislaus Kostka in Adams for more than three years after its December 2008 closure. The diocese plans to reopen the church as a chapel mission of Blessed John Paul the Great Parish, with the first Mass set for Palm Sunday at 8 a.m. and ongoing Sunday services. The Vatican decision kept the church in religious use amid parish realignments due to attendance, shortages, and finances.
