Milwaukee Archdiocese Proposes $4M for Victims

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has proposed setting aside $4 million to compensate the victims of clergy sexual abuse in its bankruptcy reorganization plan, according to a statement provided to The Associated Press.

The archdiocese filed for bankruptcy in 2011, saying pending sexual abuse lawsuits could leave it with debts it couldn't pay. Its creditors include hundreds of people who were sexually abused by clergy. They have accused the archdiocese of covering up priests' crimes while assigning them to new churches without warning parishioners.

....

Some of the $4 million could be used to sue the archdiocese's former insurers to get them to pay victims, according to the archdiocese statement. Listecki said it is too soon to say how the money might be divided up. The archdiocese has not outlined how much it hopes to collect from those companies.

The archdiocese recently reached a deal with one insurer, Lloyd's, of London, to buy back its policies for an as-yet undisclosed sum. The deal relieves Lloyd's, which insured the church in the 1960s and 1970s, of liability in regard to the sexual abuse claims.

1. May they ALL go broke

And 4 million???? What does that work out to. $1,000 for each victim throughout the years. They should have to sell everything, including the church, AKA the scene of the crime.
