Sacramento vs. the Dominicans: why St. Paul would approve

Dr Edward Peters writes:

The Diocese of Sacramento is suing the Western Province of the Dominicans for payment of what the diocese asserts is the religious order's fair share of a civil judgment entered against the diocese in regard to a sexual misconduct case involving a Dominican priest then working in the diocese.

What's unusual here is that the diocese is not suing the province in a civil court, but rather, in an ecclesiastical tribunal. One need not know anything about the merits of the case to say, this is a good move.
