Redress

Bishop, Priest, Redress

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Bishop, Priest, Redress (1): When a bishop removes a priest in the regular way according to the rules and discipline of his church, the priest has no redress.358 Also, when a priest has submitted his case to the church tribunal according to the discipline of his church, he must abide by its decision, excepting where his civil rights or property rights as a citizen are involved, when he may appeal to the laws of the land.359
