Settlement represents Church’s largest payout in sexual abuse scandal on account of sexual abuse by catholic church.
LOS ANGELES - The nation’s largest Catholic archdiocese will settle its clergy sex abuse cases for at least $600 million, by far the largest payout in the church’s sexual abuse scandal, The Associated Press learned Saturday.
Attorneys for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the plaintiffs will release a statement Sunday morning and hold a news conference Monday, said Ray Boucher, the lead plaintiff’s attorney.
An anonymous source with knowledge of the deal placed its value at $660 million, by far the largest payout in the church’s sexual abuse scandal. The amount exceeded earlier reports from sources that the settlement w

Some Roman Catholic orders — the Servites, Clairites and Oblates — will be carved out of the agreement because they refused to participate, the source said. The settlement also calls for the release of confidential priest personnel files after review by a judge assigned to oversee the litigation, Boucher said.
The settlements push the total amount paid out by the U.S. church since 1950 to more than $2 billion, with about a quarter of that coming from the Los Angeles archdiocese.
It wasn’t immediately clear how the payout would be split among the insurers, the archdiocese and several Roman Catholic religious orders. A judge must sign off on the agreement.

Did you imagine that Jesus' death and resurrection meant no Christian is in any way responsible for the consequences of their actions? That if you get sued, all you have to do is go into court and tell the judge you are a Christian, and you walk out without paying anything? Surely you cannot mean that.

So perhaps the "ransom" paid by Jesus is significant in that the church, not the individual priest, is paying up. But mostly that is because when they joined the church, they took a vow of poverty in exchange for the Church as a whole, or the order if they are in a particular order, accepting responsibility for their actions.

Personally, I think you asked this question just to put the details of the lawsuit into the question.
