Sermon, False Statement, Crime
From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Sermon, False Statement, Crime (1): A clergyman may, by words used in a sermon, slander a member of his congregation. However, if he makes no false statement and does not falsely or maliciously charge a crime, what he says in the way of discipline is privileged.687 The meaning of the words “she is a dirty, vile woman,” can not be extended by innuendo.688
