What exactly happens? Do surrounding dioceses assume power over the churches of this diocese? Must the debts be settled first, then if anything is left over, the surrounding dioceses can take over?
dioceses cover a very large area. I would imagine Harrisburg would probably cover most of the middle of the state. Philly and Pittsburg will soon follow into bankruptcy. Sadly their cemeteries will turn to overgrown brush with trash filling in and all their historic churches will be torn down or bought by much smaller prod churches and without expensive maintenance then fall down. The homoes have destroyed the Catholic church.
They aren’t going out of business; they simply capped the amount of assets that can be attached in the courts.
