The RFRA is the <em>Religious Freedom Restoration Act</em>, and it served as the basis of dispute in the case City of Boerne v. Flores. The Catholic Archbishop of San Antonio, Patrick Flores, brought suit against local authorities for denying him a permit to expand his church in Boerne, Texas. The court ultimately ruled against him, by claiming that the RFRA as it applies to the states was an unconstitutional use of Congress's enforcement powers.
