Survivors Push for Church Assets | Montpelier News
Description
A U.S. Bankruptcy Court has greenlit abuse claimants to pursue lawsuits over half a billion dollars in Vermont Catholic parish assets, opening the door to legal battles over church properties and bank accounts. The diocese, already spending two million in legal fees and paying out 34 million in past settlements, is now facing a critical choice: mediate or continue costly litigation. Survivors’ attorneys demand all assets be available for compensation, warning the diocese risks avoiding responsibility. With properties being sold and a high school campus up for transfer, the diocese scrambles to balance finances while survivors push for justice.
