The Archdiocese of New York has paid out close to $60 million to sexual abuse victims in the past two years, a spokesman told The Post.
So far, 278 victims — including a teen molested by a perverted priest at Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx in the early 1980s — have been paid $59,950,000 through the archdiocese’s Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program.
This revelation comes on the heels of a shocking Pennsylvania grand jury report that found that over 300 priests had abused more than 1,000 children for decades in the state — all while being shielded by church officials.
