The Diocese of Santa Rosa filed for bankruptcy Monday, citing new lawsuits from more than 200 survivors of child sexual abuse by Catholic priests.
ABC7 News spoke with Santa Rosa's bishop but also to survivors and their attorneys who believe the church is trying to avoid responsibility for horrific abuse by priests.In this petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed this morning, the Diocese of Santa Rosa estimates its assets between $10 and $50 million, and its liabilities to be the same because of a flood of new lawsuits from survivors of clergy sexual abuse. ABC7's I-Team reporter Dan Noyes spoke with Santa Rosa Bishop Robert Vasa.
"I say to all those who are survivors throughout the whole state of California, you know, you are being heard and we do have compassion for you. But we also have limitations in terms of the assets that I as a bishop have the right to distribute," said Bishop Vasa.
