Actually, listen to it again.
I think Fr. C is saying the church process can't go forward until he
gives up his rights to pursue charges against the alleged victims in
the secular courts (possibly for defamation, etc) and other secular
rights. Since his lawyers advise against giving these rights up and
the canonical investigation won't proceed unless he does it, they are
at a stalemate and he'll be suspended indefinitely. That's why I think
he's saying to heck with it and trying to move on. In his view it is
that or perpetual suspension in limbo, since he's not giving up his
secular rights. If that is the case, I wouldn't either. It leaves him
wide open while the accusers keep all of their rights.
