What matters is whether he is legally correct, not whether he is a douche. Frankly, in a country like England, his case would be even more legitimate.

Unless this "parishoiner" (paging James Koh!) has a career that hinges on whether or not he's critical of homilies, I fail to see what the damages are. Maybe next week's sermon should be about turning the other cheek...

Don't you have to actually SAY something to be guilty of defamation? Simply playing a recorded message without defaming commentary can't be defamation, right?

Isn't this just like that Seinfeld where Kathy Griffin plays all those mean messages from Jerry as a part of her stand-up?
