More US Catholics take complaints to church court (AP)

In this Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012 photo, Rev. Patrick Lagges stands in front of a statue of Saint Francis in Chicago. Lagges, a canon lawyer for three decades in the Catholic Church, helped lead the canon law society workshop last year. It was once assumed that disagreements between Roman Catholic clergy and lay people would end one way: with the highest-ranking cleric getting the last word. That outcome is no longer a given. Lately, those trying to resolve such disputes in the U.S. have increasingly turned to the church's internal legal system, according to canon lawyers. Reasons for the uptick reflect changes in church and society; the American concern for individual freedoms likely has played a role as has the explosion of information on the Internet. But the change is also an unexpected consequence of the clergy molestation crisis. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)AP - Parents upset by the admission policy at a parochial school.
