New Maryland hotel's ornate bar triggers outrage among local Catholics

More than 3,000 upset people have signed a petition demanding that the owners of a Marriott hotel relocate a bar that was formerly a chapel.

The Wye Oak Tavern, which is part of the recently inaugurated Visitation Hotel in Frederick, Maryland, has encountered opposition for utilizing the chapel's high altar as a focal point for the bar.

The petition, led by Elyssa Koren, a lawyer and alumna of the Visitation Academy, calls on the hotel owners to 'restore the dignity of the chapel by relocating the bar.'
