Jury selection is underway in another case against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington.

A former altar boy says he was molested by Father Edward Paquette when attending Christ the King in Burlington.

The focus is how the Diocese handled priests accused of molesting kids.

"Do you have the concern that the proof in this case shows that what we need to prove, that Father Edward Paquette molested and that the Diocese knew about it and allowed it to happen," Plaintiff Attorney John Evers said.

Three months ago, the Diocese was ordered to pay nearly 9-million dollars in a Priest sex abuse case.
