It’s been nearly two years since the Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore filed for bankruptcy, forcing it to take account of its assets and file insurance claims to eventually pay survivors who were abused as children by clergy and staff.
However, after a series of delays and twists, the survivors have yet to see any payout and many are feeling out of the loop.
One survivor wrote about their frustration to U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Harner last week.
“What started as a positive situation as the rust of a newly enacted law by the Maryland legislature years ago has developed into what one might describe as a circus,” the survivor wrote. Who do the victims believe and what can they believe? Especially when there is almost complete secrecy surrounding this case.”
