So your Bible study classes have websites and links? Well, aren’t you the lucky one. Mine do not. Mine have acknowledgments of the sources that are used for Bible study. Do I need a Notary? Would that solve Judith Anne’s “problem”? I didn’t think so...
The whole purpose of linking to sites is to prevent copyright infringement. I don’t see that that is an issue with either of the two documents provided, no matter what the websites they were gleaned from.
It the material posted at those websites was the actual work of that website, yeah, copyright laws would be an issue, but those other websites used it as well from another source so it is not their material that they have a copyright to.
A magazine from the 1800’s is well past copyright laws and does The Code of Canon Law from Vatican II is pretty much public domain.
Hey, I understand that the comments made by both sources are an embarrassment to the Catholic church, but that doesn’t justify this kind of behavior to try to get them pulled.
