The Roman Catholic Church Diocese of Covington filed a lawsuit Tuesday in which it demands Facebook remove a page bearing the diocese’s name, citing federal copyright law.

The page, “Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington,” is not affiliated with the diocese. It has 372 likes as of Wednesday evening, and some of its posts are critical of the diocese and its schools.

One person wrote on the page that the diocese is a “breeding grounds for white privilege.”

The lawsuit was filed in the Eastern District of Kentucky.
