    Report released by Illinois Attorney General:
    https://clergyreport.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/

    Reporting by the New York Times:
    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/23/us/illinois-catholic-church-sex-abuse.html

    ... 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. ...

        Baltimore Archdiocese, Bracing for More Abuse Claims, Files for Bankruptcy
        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.
