Court Says First Amendment Precludes Jurisdiction Over Suit For Injuries During Healing Service
In Kubala v. Hartford Roman Catholic Diocesan, 2011 Conn. Super. LEXIS 1260 (CT Super. Ct., May 20, 2011), a Connecticut state trial court dismissed a lawsuit brought against a Catholic priest, his church and the Hartford Diocese seeking damages for injuries plaintiff received when, during a Catholic Charismatic Renewal healing service, she was physically injured. When plaintiff was “prayed over” during the service, she fell backward, hitting her head and sustaining painful injuries. She claimed the injuries were the result of defendants failing to exercise the degree of care usual for such services. The court concluded that the federal and state constitutions' free exercise and
establishment clauses preclude it from deciding the case. The claim is essentially one of clergy malpractice. “ince the plaintiff's claims are inextricably intertwined with the religious context in which the incident occurred, the court cannot apply neutral principles of secular law to this case.”
For those of you with access to this case please take a look at it and see if we can use it to protect ourselves from the Fascists! With the new Nevada laws we need to protect ourselves from their tyranny.
"Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die): Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches— Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, “Who is the Lord?” Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God."
[Prov. 30:7-9, Bible, NKJV]
