Why a trial? Trials are not tools for discovering truth. THey're for determining guilt beyond a shadow of doubt. The truth in a case may well be someone is guilty, but if the evidence doesn't support that, well hey, no conviction.

Thats the problem with this Italian court. This judge officiously deemed himself capable of deciding on his own, evidence regarding history.
A good judge would simply throw the case out of court and say --- THIS COURT DOES NOT MAKE DECISIONS REGARDING CASES LIKE THESE. DON'T WASTE MY TIME.
Unfortunately, we have too many judges here and abroad who think they know enough about everything to decide for everyone else.

A trial is for determining guilt beyond a REASONABLE doubt, or to establish guilt based upon the preponderance of the evidence if it is a civil case.
I do not see how this person has standing to sue a priest for what he has done or has not done to someone else.
