After four years of bankruptcy proceedings, New York's Rockville Centre Diocese agreed to settle claims from people who said priests and others in the diocese sexually abused them. Survivors spoke to NCR about the settlement.
The Rockville Centre Diocese's 136 parishes paid $53 million of the approximately $323 million payout to victims of sexual abuse by priests and adults. Every parish filed for bankruptcy and contributed, whether or not they were being sued.
Local TV news reported that federal investigators subpoenaed Our Lady of Mount Carmel-Annunciation Parish seeking details about possible dealings between its pastor and a one-time chief of staff of NYC Mayor Eric Adams.
