The nasty divorce case that exposed an alleged romance between the rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral and his married secretary will be back in court today.
A court-appointed law guardian is set to tell a Westchester Family Court judge whether secretary Laura DeFilippo should be let into her home and allowed to see her kids.

DeFilippo, 46, was caught on tape last month spending 51/2 hours at a Hamptons motel with her boss, Msgr. Eugene Clark, 79. They have denied having an affair, but soon after the video became public, Clark resigned his post running St. Pat's.

DeFilippo's estranged husband, Philip, filed for divorce this month. He also got an order of protection barring her from their Eastchester home after telling cops that she threatened to stab him when he confronted her about the tape.
