In a
related story, the
Bavarian church recently tried to file a
suit, on behalf of
Jesus, against the
German Christian Democratic Party for
libel. Their position was that since the CDR was not following the
principles of
Jesus, they could not legitimately call themselves
Christian.
The German high court, in a bemused ruling, struck down the lawsuit on the grounds that if Jesus was still alive as the Church believed, then He was perfectly capable of bringing the lawsuit Himself.
