CWN Editor's Note: The Archdiocese of Chicago reached a $5.4-million settlement with nine plaintiffs who allege they were abused by priests in the 1970s through 1990s.
Four of the priests were not included on the archdiocese’s list of credibly accused clergy.
“We have paid more than $400 million to survivors and continue to ask for survivors to come forward,” an archdiocesan official said. “They will be received with dignity and compassion.”
