MINNEAPOLIS – The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis is adding more money to its compensation plan for clergy abuse victims.
Our partners at Minnesota Public Radio News report the compensation fund will jump from the original $65 million dollars to more than $100 million.
MPR reports Archdiocese attorneys say settlements with insurers and creditors are making more money available for the fund, with settlements have been reached with all but two insurers.
Attorneys for the victims have long said the insurers and the church could afford to contribute more money to the fund.
