I am really out of it because I didn’t even know this<\/a> was going on until I read the post in the reformation21 blog<\/a>. In Italy a priest has to appear in court to prove the existence of Jesus!

\nUpdate: I found another article<\/a> dated 1-27-06. The priest stated his case in court and is awaiting the verdict. And here is yet another article<\/a> that lays out the priest’s defense.
