Over the last several years, more than 1,300 alleged victims of abuse brought claims against priests in the LA Archdiocese. That's the largest archdiocese in the U.S.
One of the key components of this settlement is mandatory release of archdiocese files about their known offenders, and that includes offenders that have not been known up until now.
The church says claims won't be paid by donations given to individual parishes or to schools. Rather, they'll be funded from investments and from assets and loans.
LA Archbishop Jose Gomez issued a public letter saying, in part, I'm sorry for every one of these incidents from the bottom of my heart.
