Judge Archbald ruled against incorporating a second St Josephs Lithuanian Catholic Society in Providence. He said the unincorporated group usurps the existing church name and risks misusing church property, noting prior similar cases and urging a firm stand against such actions. The decision cites property interests and community impact, with protests from the original St Josephs society.
