BIG Religious Liberty Threat | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: I agree, Supreme Court precident does not permit civil courts to order the defrocking of a priest - however that action can certainly be part of a consent decree once Rome approves.  The bishop has already been replaced, if memory serves, so the only thing left is to fire the lawyers who were culpable in the cover up.  They should also be sanctioned by the bar.  By the way, this is the big issue the bishops are going after on the religious liberty cases.  They want a right of organizational liberty established so that they can avoid prosectuion - not just not buy birth control.
