Catholic Clergy Sexual Abuse Meets The Civil Law, Thomas P. Doyle, Stephen C. Rubino

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article examines the sexual abuse scandal that has racked the Roman Catholic Church since 1984, focusing in particular on how the Church's authority structure has responded and how the American civil court system has been used by victims to seek redress.

Images Of Slavery In The Early Church: Hatred Disguised As Love?, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton Jan 2003

Images Of Slavery In The Early Church: Hatred Disguised As Love?, Kimberly Flint-Hamilton

Journal of Hate Studies

The Ardoyne neighborhood is not a place a tourist would want to visit. Its streets today are the front lines of what some would classify as a religious holy war, and are the regular backdrop for violent scenes of masked demonstrators, burning cars, and heavily armed soldiers and riot police. Guard towers, walls topped with barbed wire, armored cars, and helicopters are part of daily life in this area, but this neighborhood is not in the Middle East. Rather, it lies far to the north in Belfast, Northern Ireland, part of industrialized Western Europe. Here, row upon row of run-down …

Determining the cause of action is essential to the evaluation of the potential constitutional challenges. Part II demonstrates that sexual misconduct by clergy is well outside First Amendment constraints. It examines both the Free Exercise and Establishment Clauses, and …
