	Full Disclosure Unlikely By John Stucke Spokesman Review [Washington] May 5, 2007 https://secure1.spokesmanreview.com/onlinesub/login.aspx?referrer=http://www.spokesmanreview.com/business/ story.asp?ID=188195&cookie=allowed The public may never know how many Catholic priests sexually abused children in Eastern Washington. Nor will parishioners know how their money is being spent, despite being asked to contribute $10 million to settle sex-abuse claims. Perhaps most alarming, however, is that priests accused of sexual abuse remain within the diocese ministry. Because of sealed court records and an unusual arrangement that one lawyer touted as an "alternative judicial system," the full disclosure long demanded by victims in the Spokane Catholic Diocese's long-running bankruptcy case may never happen.
