Case Notes
A privicy council decision in the wake of the Geilis Johnston case that the kirk and presbyteries can handle matters of witchcraft when they are simply a mater of idolitry and heresy if the person confesses. If the suspect denies the charges the case must be handed over to the 'juge ordinar'. The church can still investigate. I don't know how this ruling played out in practice?
