General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Kreshik v. Saint Nicholas Cathedral, 363 U.S. 190 (1960)
Kreshik v. Saint Nicholas Cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church of North America No. 824 Decided June 6, 1960 363 U.S. 190
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO
THE COURT OF APPEALS OF NEW YORK
Syllabus
Certiorari is granted and a decision of the Court of Appeals of New York, holding that, under the common law of New York, petitioners, as the appointees of the Patriarch of Moscow, may not exercise the right conferred under canon law to use and occupy St. Nicholas Cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church in New York City, is reversed on the authority of Kedroff v. St. Nicholas Cathedral, 344 U.S. 94, since the constitutional principles there applied forbid the judiciary, as well as the legislature, of a State to interfere with the free exercise of religion.
Pp. 190-191.
7 N.Y.2d 191, 164 N.E.2d 687, reversed.
