Archdiocese of Louisville Settles Abuse Cases For $25.7M

One of the largest collections of civil actions against the Roman Catholic church came to a close when the Archdiocese of Louisville agreed to pay $25.7 million to 243 people who accused priests and employees of child sexual abuse. Archbishop Thomas Kelly addressed victims Tuesday as the settlement was announced. "I apologize again for what we did or failed to do that led to your abuse," Kelly said. "I hope today's settlement is a sign of our willingness to help you in your healing."


So basically, each family gets about $100k for having their children molested by the man in their life they should trust the most - their priest. Once you take out the lawyers 30% and the taxes, they are probably left with a whooping $50k that won't even come close to paying for all the theoropy their kids will need in dealing with this.

I say each family should get $10 million AFTER fees and taxes and if it bankrupts the church - good concidering most of the higher officials in the church knew it was going on and did NOTHING other than transfer the priests to a new church.


FUCK THEM.
