quote:

Attorneys for the archdiocese said that 157 parishes, charities and other entities affiliated with the local Roman Catholic church will file for Chapter 11 beginning on Wednesday.


quote:

In return, the parishes and charities will be responsible for contributing a combined $60 million to the archdiocese's proposed $230 million settlement, which was approved by hundreds of clergy sex abuse survivors last month.

It's not clear how much individual parishes or organizations will be required to pay.


quote:

Locally, the Archdiocese of New Orleans and its attorneys will not say how much they plan to seek from each of the 157 additional debtors to meet the $60 million obligation.


quote:

It isn't clear whether wealthier parishes will be asked to contribute proportionally more than those that don't have the same means.

"We are not able to disclose the specific contributions by parish or agency," McDonald's statement said.

Some?

How about one? They probably have thousands of paintings that could cover the entire amount in one sale.

There is a solution. Stop covering up for pedophile priests.

It is sad.

How do the parishioners justify this with themselves?

It is what it is; New Orleans Archdiocese can get some closure and move on. It’s just money; souls are way more important. Hopefully enough safe guards are in place so that cover ups will never happen again.

Because men are fallen creatures. The same way that every time a teacher makes the news for sexual abuse doesn't mean we shut down schools.

The cover ups were horrible. There are better systems in place to prevent it now.

If a school board was moving known teacher pedos from one school to another you better believe we’d prosecute everyone and shut it down.

LMAO the current Pope hid PEDO Priest in Chili and then lied about it.

We are in for many many more years of perverted clergy running the church.

Its going to get worse before it gets better.

No worries, operation Gayle Benson incoming. I definitely would be ok with a leaner more frugal Catholic Church

Because even when disgusting men either do this or cover it up it doesn’t change the church, dogma, doctrine or tradition.
