Archdiocese bankruptcy keeps parish funds from sex abuse victim claims

The Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans has filed for bankruptcy protection.
The voluntary filing addresses mounting financial pressures on the church from the Coronavirus shutdown and clergy abuse claims.
Archbishop Gregory Aymond said the Chapter 11 bankruptcy request affects only church administration expenses.
“We are aware that some people are questioning will my school be open, will my parish be open,” Aymond said. “The answer to that is simply yes. Nothing will change.”
There are about 500,000 Catholics in Greater New Orleans.
Aymond said bankruptcy would allow the church to reorganize and to be more efficient and more effective.

Is this a motive for child victim witness intimidation crimes? What forms of sophisticated witness intimidation have been documented? I predict that child victims of priests, employees and KOC members were also likely victims of witness intimidation, threats of violence and death threat crimes in all 50 states. Intimidation crimes against child victims cannot be overlooked, and justice must be done for all child victims. Ad hoc child witness protection programs should be considered.
