Journalist Loses Court Challenge Against Church Anathema

A Pskov court dismissed a libel suit brought against the Russian Orthodox Church's Pskov Eparchy by local journalist Oleg Dementiev, who sought the retraction of the eparchy's anathema of him. Dementiev, who has never been baptized, was anathemized for the “abominable slander and satanic lie” allegedly contained in his critical article about a local monastery (the article was found untrue in another trial).
