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.
