Seven Catholics, calling themselves the Kings Bay Plowshares, are seen April 4, 2018, before they entered the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia to protest nuclear weapons. They argued in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia Aug. 7, 2019, that their actions were motivated by their Catholic faith and not by their political beliefs and therefore were protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The group includes, from left, Clare Grady, Patrick O'Neill, Elizabeth McAlister, Jesuit Father Steve Kelly, Martha Hennessy, Mark Colville and Carmen Trotta. (CNS photo/Kings Bay Plowshares)
