Although the bishop hasn't signed off on it yet, lawyers for victims of sexual abuse by priests in the Kansas City area said they came to an agreement Tuesday night. One of the major points is a forthcoming apology.
"The Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph will apologize for the wrongful abuse by its priests," attorney Patrick Noaker said.
In addition to the public apology, the Diocese will not recommend anyone accused of such crimes for other jobs, especially ones involving children.
The diocese will pay $10 million and the settlement covers 47 families. Calls to the diocese were not returned Tuesday night.
