S.F. Diocese’s Bankruptcy Filing Puts Child Abuse Lawsuits On Hold
Release Date:
Hundreds of lawsuits alleging child sexual abuse by Catholic priests are now paused after the San Francisco Archdiocese filed for bankruptcy Monday. Many abuse survivors — some of whom have waited decades for their day in court — are frustrated by the filing, the third of its kind by Bay Area dioceses this year. Chronicle reporter Sophia Bollag joins host Laura Wenus to discuss the flood of lawsuits and what these bankruptcies could mean. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod
