DE FIDE is a non-profit association founded specifically to use every available means of Canon Law to defend the Faith and Church from Heresy. To accomplish its mission, DE FIDE initiates lawsuits in Ecclesiastical Court to protect the rights of the faithful and unbaptized. The Association consists of a consortium of premier Canon Law experts around the world who work in tandem to achieve this goal.
On 14 June 2004 DE FIDE filed its first Libellus Litis (Bill of Complaint) in the Ecclesiastical Court of the Archdiocese of Boston. The Criminal Complaint alleges that United States Senator JOHN F. KERRY, as a baptized Catholic, has committed a court-martial offense under Canon Law by professing the Right-to-Murder heresy, commonly known as the "Right to Choose" doctrine.
The Complaint is currently under review by the Archdiocese of Boston. Once accepted, the arguments and evidence will be considered by a collegiate panel of three judges nominated to evaluate the merits of the case. When created, the Court will summon Defendant KERRY to trial for the presentation of any arguments the Defense may attempt to invoke.
Sorry, I meant to flag that as an excerpt.
My letter's in the mail.
Surely the three Amchurch "judges" will wait to act until their liberal Amchurch guy gets elected. (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)
"ANY ONE, be he Catholic, non-Catholic Christian, or just non-Christian may file a suit and plead before a Catholic Ecclesiastical court or judge. Pursuant to Canon 1476 of the Code of Canon Law of 1983, it is no longer required for one to be baptized in order to sue in Ecclesiastical Court. In order to join the class-action lawsuit, your contact details are required for maintenance of the action, and for us to be able to keep you posted on the status of the case. "
