Diocese Uses Bankruptcy to Delay Abuse Settlements
Description
The San Diego Catholic Diocese, facing over 480 child abuse lawsuits, is using extreme legal tactics to stall settlements — objecting to more than 160 claims, risking survivors getting nothing. While the insurer claims it’s just sorting valid claims, survivors’ lawyers argue the diocese is profiting and dodging accountability, even transferring assets to cut payouts. A bankruptcy judge has also restricted key attorneys from helping survivors’ teams, leading to dismissals and appeals — all while the diocese, which serves 1.3 million Catholics, continues to operate under bankruptcy protection.
