Italian man sues Catholic priest to make it prove that Jesus existed:
Cascioli says Righi, and by extension the whole Church, broke two Italian laws. The first is "Abuso di Credulita Popolare" (Abuse of Popular Belief) meant to protect people against being swindled or conned. The second crime, he says, is "Sostituzione di Persona," or impersonation.

This could be like the Scopes trial in nearby Tennessee. Of course, both trials might be fueled by the same reason: Greed. Story as told by an ex-Mayor of Dayton TN was the the trial in Dayton and the congruence of a few reporters, and the latest thing in communications (the telephone) was contrived. In this case Cascioli has a book for sale as mentioned in the article, and a small parish becomes famous, at least for a few minutes.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
