	Judge Hears Testimony on Diocese Bankruptcy Plan Philadelphia Inquirer July 9, 2011 http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/125257614.html WILMINGTON - The bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Wilmington told a federal bankruptcy judge Friday that the diocese's reorganization plan was fair and just for all creditors, including victims of priest sex abuse, and that he did not expect the diocese to provide pension payments or other benefits to known child abusers. "I think we tried to be fair to all survivors," said Bishop Francis Malooly, the first witness to testify at a hearing on whether Judge Christopher Sontchi should approve the diocese's plan. The plan is based on a $77 million settlement with about 150 alleged victims of priest sex abuse.
