Next week, Bishop David Zubik will be installed as the 12th bishop of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Today, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh announced it has created a fund worth more than $1 million to settle 32 lawsuits alleging abuse or injury by priests. Zubik said in a statement he had been informed along the way as the resolution came about. He says he hopes the settlement would help rebuild trust in the church. The 57-year-old Zubik has served as bishop in Green Bay since December 2003. Pittsburgh is his hometown. It's also 1 of the largest Catholic dioceses in the country. More than 760,000 parishioners make up nearly 40% of the population in a six-county area.
