What legal grounds exist for this suit, that the courts must be involved? Fraud?

[Alberta's Child]

It sounds to me like a clear case of fraud.

Many of the complaints that this guy has about the seminary can also be applied to almost any Catholic institution in the U.S., but in the case of a seminary a person is actually involved in purchasing a product/service as opposed to just making voluntary contributions.

The legal grounds might be that (1) The institution claims to be Catholic and (2) the standards of a Catholic education are spelled out in the official Catholic Church document Ex Corde Ecclesia.

If the seminary represented itself as Catholic, yet violated the Catholic Church's own stated criteria for Catholic education, then the seminary might be guilty of fraudulent conveyance.
