Default Portland Oregon Archdiocese files for bankruptcy
Not sure if this is really the proper forum, but....

"The Portland Archdiocese announced today it was filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection rather than proceed with a priest-abuse trial scheduled to begin today."

Oooohhh, this is gonna get interesting!!!!

Blunt words from one of the plaintiffs (Devereaux) and his lawyer.

Devereaux
Quote:
"For me, it was like having sex with God," said Devereaux -- now a middle-aged adult. "I knew I had committed the ultimate sin and I was doomed.
His lawyer
Quote:
Asked about the archbishop's claim that the church did not have the money to settle the cases, Slader, Devereaux's lawyer, said, "The bishop has not begun to touch his pot. He is lying."
