“A letter sent by the Archbishop of New York, Ronald Hicks, notes that the matter has been a painful process, but they hope that all parties accept. If so, they would each received around $215,000.”
(Protestia) Two years after the Archdiocese of Los Angeles reached an $880 million settlement with men and women who survived childhood sexual abuse at the hands of Roman Catholic priests and clergy in their diocese, the Catholic Archdiocese of New York is following suit, agreeing to pay more than $800 million to its own sexual abuse survivors.
So far, the Catholic Church has paid out more than $5 billion in settlements, which has bankrupted at least 19 dioceses.
The archdiocese has been planning this for a while. Along with selling off buildings and laying off staff, including the sale of their New York headquarters for $100 million, the Archdiocese is suing its insurance company, Chubb.
