Let me put it quite clearly for the dummies.
In modern Western society, Church courts of any kind are meaningless and toothless tigers.
In this case were they to try him in absentia, it would ONLY be a face saving mechanism for the Catholic Church and a case of too little too late.
It matters little to his victims whether he is frocked or defrocked ( which he claimed as a reason in his defence, how could he bugger a little boy frocked? LOL) as he is now where he belongs ( admittedly rather too late)
in jail.
They are not trying him on the basis of whether he is in jail.
They are trying him in the basis of what they are supposed to do regardless of secular law. If the law found him not guilty would this trial still be “toothless”?
Even secular law doesn’t follow that kind of logic.
That is the thing you keep ignoring because you are insisting the church should live by secular law rather than their beliefs like all theophobiacs think.
