You know, this gave me more of a chuckle than anything else when I read this checking email. I feel sorry for everyone involved. I have a feeling that the individual suing is just trying to get attention and be heard. He may feel lonely and just wants to know if people are still paying attention to him.

Now trying to prove (falsely) that Jesus didn’t exist is an interesting way of going about that but anything goes in the media.

Prayers for all involved would be best.
 
I notice that according to the article
" The judge presiding over the hearing has tried, repeatedly, to dismiss the case – prompting appeals from Cascioli."

What we have here, I thin, is one more case of someone who wants to justify his unbelief by lableling those who believe as liars.

I wouldn’t worry about it. The Church is an anvil that has worn out many hammers.🙂
 
I would love to know what would happen if he actually proves & wins his case…:hmmm:
 
He would have to first prove…to the satisfaction of an Italian court that didn’t want to hear the case…that Jesus Christ never existed. Then, sepending on what the law says, he would have to prove to some degree of certainty that the defendant had knowingly taught falshoods. That is, that FatherRighi* knew* Christ was not real and taught that he was anyway.The laws cited in the article seem to forbid “swindling and deceit”, not “teaching one’s own beliefs.”

…If the plaintiff did win, then the Church would have to fight to keep her right to teach the truth.
