    The Baltimore archdiocese:

    https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/bs-md-baltimore-catholic-sex-abuse-report-20230405-ulo3twkyvndajo7dkq3yuoszbm-story.html

    A four-year investigation of Baltimore’s Catholic archdiocese reveals the scope of 80 years of child sex abuse and torture and how church officials often covered it up and, in some cases, paved the way for further abuse.

    Among the accounts: A deacon who admitted abusing more than 100 children. A priest who chained and whipped boys for his gratification. Another priest who, after receiving psychiatric treatment, went on to abuse 20 students at a Baltimore boys’ school.
    ...

    The Attorney General's report (463 page PDF, some information redacted): https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23742405/oag_redacted_report_on_child_sexual_abuse.pdf

      ... The 696-page report found that clergy members and lay religious brothers had abused at least 1,997 children since 1950 in the state’s six dioceses, including the prominent Archdiocese of Chicago.

      The report adds 149 names to lists of child sex abusers whom the dioceses themselves had publicly identified before or during the investigation. That brings the total number of identified abusers to 451, the report says. ...

          The nation’s oldest Catholic archdiocese made the move days before the start of a new law removing the statute of limitations on lawsuits from abuse victims.

              Ax is only jealous of the Baltimore Archdiocese.

                It is. a tough situation. I have not been following it very close, but just like a company, if they knew about something but still allowed it to happen, or could have corrected it but did not, then I guess there should be charges.

                  Consider it a business principle: rather go broke than compensate the victims.
                  And then start over all again.

                    They probably prayed very hard on it before making that decision.

                      Being a catholic us easy: you do something foul, make a confession to a priest, you get pardoned.

                      Then repeat.

                        The Los Angeles Archdiocese

                        https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-10-16/archdiocese-of-los-angeles-to-pay-880-million-in-the-largest-clergy-sexual-abuse-settlement

                        L.A. Catholic Church to pay record settlement over clergy abuse; cumulative payouts top $1.5 billion

                        The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to pay $880 million to victims of clergy sexual abuse in the largest settlement involving the Catholic Church.

                        The archdiocese had previously paid $740 million to victims in various settlements and had pledged to better protect its church members, so this settlement would put the total payout at more than $1.5 billion.
