The Catholic church does not want any cases brought to trial, so they always try to settle. Will the lawyers figure this out and keep demanding higher and higher settlements? When will it ever end? It's becoming an industry like suing the tobacco companies once was.

Maybe when they run out of money.
It is going to take a really long time.
Actually I believe a lot of the cases the plaintiffs do not want to settle. They do not particularly want the money, they want justice and for the truth to come out. But the truth and the Catholic church have never been that close.
Edit:
boohoo_Jebus employing them is not the problem. At least no more than for Scout leaders, teachers, etc.
The problem is the actions of the church that have hidden the activities of the perpetrators, have made the victims feel as if they were guilty and, in many cases, have actually facilitated the perpetrators by moving them around and exposing more innocents for them to abuse.

As more cases win more accusers will come. The church is built on sin and has lots of sin hidden. The flood gates are open. Catholics keep giving they need the money. Homeless people fend for yourself they are paying lawyers now. Cant build a soup kitchen if you have to pay for more sin. And you stay with your religion?

Probably not. Even if they stop doing anything illegal(the priests), someone will still go after them for money. People are just plain greedy and they don't care who they hurt.
