Watched the announcment by Archbishop Vlazny today about how the Archdiocese of Portland (whose bailiwick is all of Oregon west of the Cascade ridge...the east side belongs to the Diocese of Baker, for what that's worth) and am still trying to digest the information.
My information on the subject may be somewhat limited, but as far as I do understand things, bankruptcy will at least provide two things; there will still be an Archdiocese for the aggrieved to sue (apparently the amounts asked for so far would leave the A/D an empty husk long before all the claimants got paid) and there will still be an Archdiocese to serve the current Catholic parishioners.
The vast majority of that group, I must point out, are actually rather against priests sexually molesting innocent young boys and going away scarcely punished, if at all.
