CWN Editor's Note: Victims of sexual abuse have approved a proposed $230-million bankruptcy settlement by the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
The archdiocese reported that over 99% of the creditors voted in favor of the proposal, including virtually all of the abuse victims. A group of bond investors voted against the deal; they have sued the archdiocese of securities fraud.
The proposed settlement now goes before a federal bankruptcy court for approval, with a hearing scheduled for November 12.
