I wonder if the Pope has a few extra cushy jobs set up in Rome for this lot as well. Why can't the Vatican itself not be sued for this money? Now they're all looking at declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying for their own morally bankrupt people.
"The Chapter 11 bankruptcy action, planned for Tuesday afternoon, puts an immediate halt to a priest abuse case scheduled to begin in Portland on Tuesday. It involves the Rev. Maurice Grammond, who was accused of molesting more than 50 boys in the 1980s.Ahhh, hasn't this guy ever been to the Vatican? The priest in question was Maurice Grammond. In case you were not aware of what a piece of shit he was...
Plaintiffs in two lawsuits involving Grammond have sought a total of more than $160 million.
The archdiocese and its insurers already have paid more than $53 million to settle more than 130 claims by people who say they were abused by priests.
"The pot of gold is pretty much empty right now," Archbishop John Vlazny said.
"Grammond died in 2002. In a deposition taken before his death, Grammond said, "I'd say these children abused me. They'd dive in my lap to get sexual excitement."
