Bishop John LeVoir said that bankruptcy protection was necessary because the diocese faces 101 claims from sex-abuse victims.
New Ulm is the 16th Catholic diocese or religious order in the US to file for bankruptcy in the wake of the sex-abuse scandal. In Minnesota, the New Ulm diocese joins the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis and Diocese of Duluth, which are still involved in bankruptcy proceedings.
