A year after filing for bankruptcy due to sex abuse lawsuits, the Oakland Diocese has released a plan involving a $65 million settlement largely funded by a loan.
Survivors' groups criticized the diocese's exit plan as grossly inadequate, claiming it downplays the church's true financial capability to compensate victims.
Advocacy organizations are appalled by the low initial settlement offer, arguing the diocese's substantial assets should enable a far greater compensation for abuse survivors.
Dan McNevin from SNAP emphasized, 'This is a really, really wealthy diocese, and there are a lot of victims,' highlighting the disparity in compensation.
