WOOHOO! Hope they go under. Hope the lawsuit drain them dry.

Need to sue the parent company (Vatican) . They have plenty of money. Do you see all the gold and priceless art it has.

fuck them!

Well, imo, they're now holding 2 of a kind ( poker speaking here btw). i.e. they ARE already Morally Bankrupt and now can add Financially Bankrupt as well.

This is in Rockville Centre, NY a commuting suburb to NYC on Long Island. I grew up in this town of anti semites. The Diocese was always fat and happy the way it was. There was always tension between the kids from St Agnes school and the rest of us in the public school. I would not shed a tear for them.

This is what is the truth of it all, avoidance by the church.

Attorney Jeff Anderson, whose firm represents dozens of sexual abuse accusers, quickly denounced the filing.

“We see the diocese’s decision to declare bankruptcy as strategic, cowardly and wholly self-serving,” said Anderson. “At the heart of these cases, we find a willful deceit on the diocese’s part — persistent attempts to evade accountability and a concerted effort to conceal information.”

I'd like to see them all quickly fade away.

Makes me think of Sarah Silerman's "Sell the Vatican, feed the world" prospect.

I wish all churches were truly bankrupted. In my extensive experience with catholic clergy, a minority were pedophiles, most were either gay or involved with women. It's just that one pedophile out of ten will cause a lot of damage to a lot of children. The vow of celibacy is a joke.
