Canadian Court will hear Priest's Civil Suit Naming Fellow Priest

from The Non-Prophets · host Atheist Community of Austin

A judge in Canada has finally affirmed that church law is not the law of the land, ruling that a sexual misconduct lawsuit against a high-ranking priest must proceed in civil court, rejecting the defense's attempt to shunt the case into an uncompensated internal canonical court. This ruling is a crucial step toward demanding external oversight and accountability for an institution known for protecting its abusers over victims. The system relies on the assumption of religious infallibility and years of delay (like the decade this case took to reach civil court). Civil courts must enforce that no institution is above the law when lives are at stake.News Source: Rosica abuse lawsuit proceeds By Gina Christian for Angelus August 12th, 2025 🔗 https://angelusnews.com/news/world/rosica-abuse-lawsuit-proceeds/The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.40.3 featuring Stephen Harder, Flabbergasted, and Tracy WilbertJudge Rules Church Law is NOT the Law of the Land ⚖️Accountability FINALLY Reaches the Priesthood 🙏Civil Court vs. Canonical Court: The Final Showdown 💥Priest Must Face Canadian Justice, Not Church Tribunal 🇨🇦The Catholic Church's Decade-Long Cover-Up 🕰️Clergy Abuse Case Bypasses Internal "Justice" 🙅‍♀️Why Church Law Can't Police Real Crimes 🚨The Irreparably Broken Catholic System 💔Justice Tenkate Draws the Line in the Sand 🖊️When Priests Stand Up to the Boys Club 💪Civil Oversight: The Solution to Religious Corruption 🔗Shameful Precedent: Protection Over People 🛡️Self-Regulation Fails When Lives Are at Stake 🚫Priest Must Answer for Civil Harm in Provincial Court 🧑‍⚖️Canadian Judge Rejects Catholic "Self-Government" 👑Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.
