Comment Re:As a lawyer--- (Score 1) 897

I pretty much agree (IANAL, though). I have served on 3 juries and it's pretty clear ... open and shut cases rarely go to trial. Generally speaking jury trials only happen when the defense (for whatever reason) is convinced they can win, but the prosecution still thinks they can win (or, due to politics, has to try anyway). That's a pretty small number of cases.

It doesn't appear in this article, but in other articles I've seen on this (http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20030992-1.html) it stated that the app has received an imprimatur from the bishop of the diocese where the authors are located. That's the usual process. An imprimatur does not imply church agreement with the document (app, in this case), merely that it is not contrary to Church teaching.
