The Archdiocese of San Francisco has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it faces more than 500 lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse.

The Archdiocese of San Francisco has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as it faces more than 500 lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse.

“The unfortunate reality is that the Archdiocese has neither the financial means nor the practical ability to litigate all of these abuse claims individually, and therefore, after much consideration, concluded that the bankruptcy process was the best solution for providing fair and equitable compensation to the innocent survivors who have been harmed,” Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said in a Monday news release.

    I’m no expert, but it seems like if they wanted to avoid all this they could have just not sexually assaulted all those kids.

      Whoa, whoa, whoa… Let’s not just run around spouting wild and crazy ideas. Have you prayed on this and spoken to God about it? Perhaps it was part of God’s plan all along for those children. Bet you didn’t think about that did you?

      Or do the right thing when they know someone is molesting kids and get police involved.
