CWN Editor's Note: A federal bankruptcy-court judge, frustrated with the lack of progress in a five-year-old case, has ordered the Archdiocese of New Orleans to show reason why the case should not be dismissed.
Judge Maredith Grabill saw no movement toward a resolution in talks between the archdiocese and sex-abuse claimants. With the archdiocesan legal fees already surpassing $40 million, the judge sought assurance that a settlement would be reached. Otherwise she threatened to dismiss the case, leaving the archdiocese to face more than 500 sex-abuse lawsuits without bankruptcy protection.
