OPINION

Opinion by Justice GARZA.

In this case, we are asked whether the ecclesiastical abstention doctrine applies to bar claims brought by appellant, Armando Torralva, against appellees Rev. Heath Peloquin, Wayne Andrus, Grady Jackson, Jill Jackson, and Jessica Lenhardt. The trial court found that the doctrine applied and that it therefore had no subject matter jurisdiction over the dispute. We affirm.
