Lawsuit Against Priest Who Said Jesus Exists Tossed
POSTED: 11:47 am PST February 10, 2006
ROME -- An Italian judge has dismissed an atheist's petition that
a small-town priest should stand trial for asserting that Jesus
Christ existed, both sides said on Friday.
Luigi Cascioli, a 72-year-old retired agronomist, had accused the
Rev. Enrico Righi of violating two laws with the assertion, which
he called a deceptive fable propagated by the Roman Catholic
Church.
"The Rev. Righi is very satisfied and moved," Righi's attorney,
Severo Bruno, said. "He is an old, small-town parish priest who
never would have thought he'd be in the spotlight for something
like this."
Cascioli, a former schoolmate of Righi's, said he had not expected
the case to succeed in overwhelmingly Roman Catholic Italy.
"This is not surprising but it doesn't mean it all ends here," he
said, adding that he's considering taking the case to the European
Court of Human Rights.
"This is an important case and it deserves to go ahead," he said.
Judge Gaetano Mautone said in his decision that prosecutors should
investigate Cascioli for possible slander.
The ruling was released Thursday in Viterbo, a town north of Rome
where the priest is based. Cascioli filed a criminal complaint
against Righi in 2002 after Righi wrote in a parish bulletin that
Jesus existed, that he was born to a couple named Mary and Joseph
in Bethlehem and that he lived in Nazareth.
Righi, 76, said substantial historical evidence proves Jesus'
existence. [There is no such evidence, however.]
Cascioli claimed that Righi's assertions violated two Italian
laws: one barring "abuse of popular belief," or fraudulently
deceiving people; and another barring "impersonation" or personal
gain from attributing a false name to someone.
