Update: Judge Orders Del. Diocese to Share Cash with Abuse Victims The Chronicle of Philanthropy July 1, 2010 http://philanthropy.com/blogPost/Update-Judge-Orders-Del/25206/ The Catholic Diocese of Wilmington, Del., must share as much as $120-million in a pool it administers with victims of sexual abuse by priests, says Bloomberg. The judge overseeing the diocese’s bankruptcy ruled Monday that the $120-million in an investment account should be considered part of the case. Scores of abuse victims who have sued the diocese and some of its parishes – cases delayed by the diocese’s October filing for Chapter 11 protection – are potential creditors, as are church employees facing possible pension losses and parishes that contributed to the investment account. |
