ST. PAUL, Minn. (KMSP) –
The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has filed for bankruptcy, with Archbishop John Nienstedt saying it’s the best course of action to ensure a fair distribution of resources to victims of alleged clergy sexual abuse.
“I make this decision because I believe it is the fairest and most helpful recourse for those victims/survivors who have made claims against us,” Nienstedt said in a letter. “Reorganization will allow the finite resources of the Archdiocese to be distributed equitably among all victims/survivors.”
