• Massachusetts High Court Blocks Quincy's St. Michael and St. Florian Statues at Public Safety Complex – [your]NEWS (yournews.com) — Massachusetts' highest court has ruled that Quincy cannot place statues of St. Michael and St. Florian outside its new police and fire complex, finding the Christian imagery could imply government endorsement of Catholicism.
