St. Louis Archbishop testifies in St. Stanislaus suit

St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson spent a long day on the stand Monday, as he was called to testify in St. Louis Circuit Court on the opening day of a trial concerning former Archdiocesan Polish parish St. Stanislaus Kostka.  

For much of the opening day, Archbishop Carlson was asked about the structure of the Church and the governing documents of St. Stanislaus. 

The suit was brought by the Archdiocese over the future of St. Stanislaus. 

The civil trial is expected to last about three weeks.   

Judge Bryan Hettenbach still has yet to hear tons of  testimony over every detail of this case, which has lingered in the Archdiocese one way or another for decades.
