Church courts?!

I’ve been reading a bit about English church courts in the 16th century. But I didn’t know church courts still existed. But apparently, they do. And John Kerry is being sued in one of them for heresy.

By the way, I don’t think a heresy suit is wise here. Kerry is not exactly a teacher in the church. And suing him for heresy is just a dumb p. r. move I think. Excommunicating him for his acts against unborn children is enough for me . . . that and a little torture, an inquisition, a gentle burning at the stake . . .
