BUFFALO, N.Y. (ChurchMilitant.com) – A third New York diocese is cobbling together a fund to pay for the alleged sins of its priests.
On the heels of New York City and Syracuse, the diocese of Buffalo announced Thursday its own Independent Reconciliation and Compensation Program (IRCP) to settle claims of clerical sex abuse.
According to Bp. Richard J. Malone, the program will be financed with self-insurance liability and investment fund reserves. The diocese will also consider selling off properties.
