Priest sex abuse victims’ lawyers ask federal judge to block archdiocese bankruptcy plan

December 8, 2016 By Bill Werner

Attorneys for victims of priest sex abuse ask a federal judge this morning to block a bankruptcy reorganization plan the Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis proposed last month. Mike Finnegan with Anderson and Associates says the archdiocese “cut a whole bunch of unreasonable and really low-value deals with a bunch of the big insurance companies, without the survivors being involved at all.”  The Archdiocese submitted a plan to the court that they say more than doubles — to 133 million dollars — money available to reimburse victims. But Finnegan says the actual amount of money available is many times that. The Archdiocese’s attorney disagrees, saying all assets have been brought forward and “these are the best settlements we could achieve under these circumstances.”
