Jury selection begins Monday for another civil suit involving a former priest with the Vermont Catholic Diocese.

The lawsuit claims that former priest Alfred Willis sexually molested a teenage boy in the late seventies.

The church lost a legal battle last week when a judge ruled the plaintiff can present evidence at the trial indicating that the church was aware of pedophile priests and covered up their actions.

Jury selection will take about two days and the trial should begin Wednesday.

Willis, who now lives in Virginia, says he will not attend the trial because it is too far.
