Abuse survivors seek dismissal of New Orleans archdiocese bankruptcy

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — New information was released on Thursday in the Archdiocese of New Orleans’ bankruptcy case.

The lawyer for several abuse survivors said they will file a motion to dismiss the bankruptcy which currently protects the church from the survivors’ demands for compensation, but officials with the Archdiocese say a dismissal could delay or even prevent victims from receiving compensation.

In a statement, the Archdiocese claims its goal remains the same, that is, to reach a resolution through mediation that serves the best interests of survivors, the church and the wider Catholic community in New Orleans.

The statement went on, saying “The focus must remain on care for survivors, not litigation strategy.”
