Order, Supreme Court, New York County (William J. Davis, J.), entered March 11, 1994, which, inter alia, granted motions by the various defendants to dismiss plaintiff’s first five causes of action, and denied plaintiff’s cross-motion for limited discovery and amendment of the complaint, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
Although the motion court based its statute of limitations
The above determinations render plaintiff’s additional claims of error moot.
We note that to the extent plaintiff’s claims are based upon his allegation that the various defendants failed to fulfill their promises to provide plaintiff with the opportunity to "live his life within the religious community in accordance with the vows and the established principles of the [Roman Catholic Church]”, such matters may not properly be determined by a civil court (see, Serbian Orthodox Diocese v Milivojevich, 426 US 696; Morris v Scribner, 69 NY2d 418, 422).
