In a Dec. 4 story about the Archdiocese of Portland's bankruptcy case, The Associated Press erroneously reported that a federal court in Spokane, Wash., was one of two federal courts that had sidestepped the issue of whether the diocese or parishes own properties.
In fact, the federal bankruptcy judge in the Spokane case ruled that parish and school property can be sold to pay victims of sexual abuse by priests. The ruling has been appealed.
