The Reckoning
(NCR logo/Toni-Ann Ortiz)
The Catholic Church has spent billions of dollars settling claims from sexual abuse cases. NCR first exposed the abuse scandal in stories first reported 40 years ago. In 2025, NCR is investigating the costs to Catholics, parishes and the church in its new series "The Reckoning."
If you have any tips, leads, suggestions or information about the costs of the sexual abuse scandal on Catholics, orders, parishes, communities, dioceses or the church, please email ncr_editor@ncronline.org with the subject line "The Reckoning."
