MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Survivors of sexual abuse by priests say the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis can pay victims a lot more than the church has proposed in bankruptcy filings.

A group of victims released its proposal on Tuesday for the Archdiocese’s reorganization. It says $80-million should go to victims. In May, the Archdiocese proposed paying around $16 million.

“The plan that they proposed of paying the survivors $16 million is deceptive, and deceiving and a betrayal of a place of transparency,” Jeff Anderson, the attorney representing abuse victims, said.
