☆ Baltimore Archdiocese files for US bankruptcy to address sex abuse lawsuits
  + stars: | 2023-09-29 | by ( Dietrich Knauth | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Maryland's attorney general has said that there are more than six hundred known survivors of clergy abuse in the state, numbers that the Archdiocese said it could not verify. The Archdiocese of Baltimore is the oldest Catholic diocese in the United States, serving over 485,000 in several Maryland counties. Sex abuse lawsuits have driven several other Catholic dioceses into bankruptcy. Previous Catholic bankruptcies have led to large settlements for abuse claims, such as a $121.5 million 2022 settlement in the bankruptcy of the Santa Fe Archdiocese. Many of the dioceses that filed for Chapter 11 after recent changes in state law remain in bankruptcy without finalized settlements.

It wasn’t until 2018 that the Archdiocese of New Orleans publicly identified Hecker as a suspected predator when it released its list of “credibly accused” priests. He is accused of choking the teen unconscious under the guise of performing a wrestling move and sexually assaulting him. The current archbishop, 73-year-old Gregory Aymond, has rebuffed calls by clergy abuse survivors to step down, saying he would not do so until canonically required to when he turns 75. “In my opinion, the Archdiocese of New Orleans is morally bankrupt, not financially bankrupt.”A New Orleans native, Hecker was ordained as an archdiocesan priest in 1958. Like the other secret church records, those emails remain under lock and key today.

☆ San Francisco Archdiocese files for bankruptcy as it faces more than 500 sexual abuse lawsuits

CNN —The Archdiocese of San Francisco has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it faces more than 500 lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse. “We seriously doubt that the Archdiocese of San Francisco does not have the assets to settle these lawsuits,” the Survivors Network of Abuse by Priests said in a statement. The San Francisco filing comes after the Catholic Diocese of Oakland similarly filed for bankruptcy protection in May after it received more than 330 claims of sexual abuse. The Catholic Church as a whole has faced intense criticism over its response to multiple reports detailing decades of sexual abuse, systemic failures and cover-ups across multiple countries. The San Francisco Archdiocese serves more than 440,000 Catholics across the counties of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin, according to its website.
