How long before the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany informs the sexual abuse survivors (with suits pending) where the bankruptcy process currently stands with regard to a resolution? The Syracuse diocese reached its resolution recently, albeit three years after its initial filing date. Is Syracuse the model for all the dioceses located in New York state with regard to timing and settlement of claims? The survivors have a right to be informed. We strongly urge those who have the power including Albany Bishop Edward Scharfenberger to end the tarrying and move forward. It might restore some credibility to its current policy of care and concern for the survivors.
