An Italian atheist has sued a priest in the small town of Viterbo, Italy, claiming the Roman Catholic Church has been deceiving people for 2000 years by arguing that Jesus Christ was a real person. Plaintiff Luigi Cascioli says father Enrico Righi broke anti-fraud laws against “abusing popular belief” by defending Christ’s existence and accuses the church of inventing a historical Jesus for financial gain.
Cascioli admits he has little hope for success in Catholicism’s spiritual homeland, but his attorney says evidence of Christ’s existence deserves a hearing in court.
