There’s a problem…but this isn’t the answer.
Priests, sexual abuse, the Catholic Church…those words are lumped together far too often. That's true in Burlington, as well as elsewhere. The diocese has settled some, and is dealing with others.
One attorney---Jerome O'Neill---has ten clients suing the Burlington diocese. And he wants court action before their cases are even heard.
He's asking the court to put liens on church property. His theory: His clients could get so much money the Church wouldn't have the cash to pay up. The property is like insurance....his clients are covered.
We say…stop.
