My guess is that this is related to the Boy Scouts bankruptcy. Since the statute of limitations on such cases has been removed, we're going to see this happen to any organization with deep pockets. Now anyone that can be found with a real or fabricated claim of abuse will sue to "get theirs" and we'll see a lot more bankruptcies.

This is a huge boon for the trial lawyers. It's their new tobacco industry.

any crime should be put thru the courts....I don't agree that innuendo, long ago memories, or "I told my friend" should stand in court.....

many priests are dead or near dead and can't defend themselves.....

I think what has happened is that indeed there is a gay cabal and they have basically thrown the church to the wolves to protect themselves.....

Satan at work....not only with the gay priests and bishops wink wink and a nod infiltration of the church, but the horrible lack of LEADERSHIP from the pope on down.....

I think now Catholics should form their own churches that they control and pay for and invite priests to come on Sundays....maintain the liturgy and follow Catholic doctrine on their own, until the once mighty sacred church arises...

Actually it limits the amounts the victims can seek; the Boy Scouts were attacked for declaring bankruptcy for exactly that reason.
