BLOOMFIELD HILLS (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court won’t intervene in a dispute between a Roman Catholic nun and a member of a Detroit-area church, perhaps leaving it to a higher authority.
A member of St. Hugo of the Hills Church in Bloomfield Hills sued a nun in 2014, saying she had defamed him by telling a priest that he had jabbed a finger in her chest.
There was a confrontation when the man learned he wouldn’t be a lector at Mass.
In December, the state appeals court said the nun suggested the man had committed a misdemeanor but that did not rise to defamation.
The Supreme Court rejected the man’s appeal last Friday.
