Catholic Dioceses Resort To Bankruptcy To Avoid Sex Abuse Claims

Just a few weeks ago I read where the San Diego diocese threatened to file for bankruptcy because of the lawsuits against their employees for sexual abuse.

The AP reports the diocese in Spokane, WA. has just emerged from such a bankruptcy - but now Spokane's Catholic parishoners are being dunned for "$48 million to settle (sexual abuse)victims' claims."

Just in that diocese - "175" people were subject to clergy abuse. Why I'm an agnostic.
