Santa Rosa Diocese faces mounting pressure as it considers filing for bankruptcy amidst 130 abuse claims
Over the past three years, 130 survivors of clergy abuse have come forward to file lawsuits against the Santa Rosa Roman Catholic Diocese for childhood sex abuse, taking advantage of a special three-year window in California. However, the diocese has announced it will file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy early next year, which will pause state court proceedings and shift the cases to federal bankruptcy court. This move is seen as prioritizing the financial well-being of the church over seeking justice for the survivors, potentially resulting in smaller settlements. Additionally, bankruptcy may prevent future claims, leaving survivors with limited options for recourse.
