"The congregation's claim on the property of St. Church is Luke's clearly illegal according to the canons of our diocese and the national Church and to the laws of the State of California. It is my pastoral and fiduciary duty to this diocese to protect its property rights, and we will pursue this matter."
S, isn't this Bruno fellow the guy who has already lost 2 or 3 times in California Courts on this very issue, or was it some other "bishop" in California?
K, I believe he's one and the same.
yes indeed, this is the very same Bishop Bruno who sued St. James Newport Beach, All Saints, Long Beach and St. David's North Hollywood. He didn't just lose. Under California's anti-slapp statute, the diocese was ordered to pay the attorneys fees incurred by St. James Newport Beach et. al. Which was a lot of money. Bruno has got to stop this or he is going to bankrupt the L. A. Diocese. This has all come about because Bruno performed a ceremony blessing a same sex relationship. And then he wonders why the more orthodox find him not leadership material.
