Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the anti-clerical tract constituted racial/religious discrimination under Art. 261bis CP
Decisione estratta
The tract did not meet the statutory threshold because, read as a whole, it targeted abusive conduct by certain priests rather than Catholics or the clergy as a religious group.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that Art. 261bis CP protects religious groups, but the relevant message must incite hatred or discrimination directly because of religion. A mean recipient would understand the tract primarily as an exaggerated call to protect children from sexual abuse, not as portraying priests as inherently contemptible because of their religion.
