Luigi Cascioli

In the Luigi Cascioli case, the judge heard arguments today:

VITERBO, Italy - An Italian judge heard arguments Friday on whether a small-town parish priest should stand trial for asserting that Jesus Christ existed.

The priest's atheist accuser, Luigi Cascioli, says the Roman Catholic Church has been deceiving people for 2,000 years with a fable that Christ existed, and that the Rev. Enrico Righi violated two Italian laws by reasserting the claim.

Lawyers for Righi and Cascioli, old schoolmates, made their arguments in a brief, closed-door hearing before Judge Gaetano Mautone in Viterbo, north of Rome.

The judge was expected to announce his decision — either dismiss the case or order Righi to stand trial — on Monday, said the prelate's lawyer, Severo Bruno.

They said they expected the judge to decide quickly.
