To fight eminent domain nuns build chapel in the middle of the pipeline path. Freedom of religion v. eminent domain.

Nuns gone wild. Nuns in Pennsylvania own a corn field that sits in the path of a pipeline. Nuns oppose the pipeline’s path through their property, and to combat it the nuns built a chapel.

The nuns, the Adorers of the Blood of Christ, believe that the earth is sacred.

Sets up a fight between the 1st amendmnt freedom of religion argument the nuns espouse and the 5th amendment takings provisions that permits eminent domain.The legal grudgematch begins July 17, 2017.

Upworthy | These nuns built a lovely little chapel. Right in the way of a pipeline. On purpose.
