Synopsis
This week in religion, Fred Bodimer reports on the Roman Catholic Church’s historic $880 million settlement for over 1,300 child sex abuse victims in Los Angeles, the largest of its kind. With over 300 priests accused, the total settlements have now surpassed $1.5 billion. The settlement follows a new California law extending the statute of limitations and applying treble damages for cover-ups. Archbishop Jose Gomez expresses hope that the settlement will aid in healing for the victims.
