Priest sues bishop and diocese over rumors

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

Michael Nguyen, a Roman Catholic priest who became a diocesan priest in 2003, is suing Bishop Tod Brown, five of his fellow priests and the Diocese of Orange, claiming they have spread lies about him and harmed his reputation. He alleges his fellow clergy intentionally made negative and false statements that painted him "as an incompetent priest, as a priest who neglects his performance ? as a priest who has mental health problems and is to be isolated and avoided," according to the lawsuit.

Nguyen said he was removed from ministry in March 2007, but did not go into details of what led up to his dismissal. 

Nguyen is asking for back wages and unspecified damages, as well as punitive damages from the priests named as defendants.  He is being represented by Joel Baruch.
