As Chris in Paris first reported, the Archdiocese of Portland, Oregon filed for Chapter 11 today to try and put a temporary halt on court cases that would expose the corrupt actions of Church leaders who repeatedly protected child molesters and hid them in new parishes where they would rape again and again. Apparently, some dioceses would rather have their finances exposed than their dirty deeds. Buried in the story was a particularly upsetting quote from Archbishop Vlazny, who said, "The pot of gold is pretty much empty right now." So as he sees it, the victims are greedy people trying to cash in, rather than human beings who have had their faith and their life shattered by the Church's abuse of trust. Talk about bankrupt.
