Swiss Bishop Takes Action Against Clergy in Response to Controversial Video

Bishop Joseph Bonnemain of Chur, Switzerland, has issued a formal reprimand to two priests involved in a viral video showing them celebrating Mass with a Swiss laywoman at the altar. While no serious liturgical violations were found, important liturgical regulations were ignored. The video depicted the laywoman appearing to concelebrate the Eucharist with the priests, which is not permitted by canon law. The bishop has warned the individuals involved and expressed confidence in their pastoral work, but emphasized that the liturgy should not be a testing ground for personal projects.

Florida Supreme Court reprimands judge for conduct in Parkland shooting trial

The Florida Supreme Court has publicly reprimanded Judge Elizabeth Scherer for showing bias toward the prosecution during the penalty trial of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz. The Judicial Qualifications Commission found that Scherer violated several rules governing judicial conduct, including unduly chastising the defense team, wrongly accusing one attorney of threatening her child, and improperly embracing members of the prosecution after the trial. Despite the stress and tension surrounding the case, judges are expected to ensure due process, order, and decorum. Scherer retired from the bench last month.

Commission accuses Judge Scherer of allowing emotions to cloud judgment in Parkland trial.

A state commission has recommended that Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer, who oversaw the penalty trial of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz, should be publicly reprimanded for showing bias toward the prosecution, failing to curtail "vitriolic statements" directed at Cruz's attorneys by the victims' families, and sometimes allowing "her emotions to overcome her judgment." The commission found that Scherer violated several rules governing judicial conduct during last year's trial in her actions toward Cruz's public defenders. Scherer announced last month that she would be retiring from the bench on June 30.
