The Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to pay $880 million to victims of clergy sexual abuse, marking the largest single child sex abuse settlement with a Catholic archdiocese.
My hope is that this settlement will provide some measure of healing for what these men and women have suffered. I believe that we have come to a resolution of these claims.
While there is no amount of money that can replace what was taken from these 1,353 brave individuals who have suffered in silence for decades, there is justice in accountability.
This settlement would put the total payout by the archdiocese at more than $1.5 billion, indicating a long-standing commitment to address past abuses.
