Priest sues bishop, Diocese of Reno

RENO -- A Nevada priest has sued the Diocese of Reno and its bishop, alleging he was unjustly fired after he obtained a protective order against a deacon he thinks made a death threat against him.

The Rev. Richard DeMolen thinks his July 1 firing as pastor of Our Lady of Tahoe Catholic Church was retaliatory.

DeMolen, in his Sept. 30 lawsuit, is seeking reinstatement to his job and unspecified damages for emotional distress and lost wages.
