The Diocese of Duluth has reached a settlement with the 125 people who claimed they have been abused by the organization’s priests – the diocese’s insurers will have to shoulder the brunt of the payment as a result.
The settlement deal will see the diocese pay about $40 million to abuse survivors. According to Reuters, Liberty Mutual, Continental Insurance Co and the Catholic Mutual Relief Society of America will cover $30 million of the settlement, with the remaining $10 million to be paid off by the diocese and its more than 75 parishes.
