Two proposals for compensating survivors of priest sex abuse remain in play after a hearing in federal court. Attorney Charles Rogers says the plan submitted by the Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis earmarks 155 million dollars or more for a victims’ fund
But victims’ attorney Mike Finnegan calls it “a scheme by the archdiocese to contribute less than one percent of their assets”
Finnegan says the archdiocese has 1.3 billion dollars in assets and well over a billion dollars of insurance money that’s potentially available to compensate victims of priest sex abuse.
