A Note from the Official Committee

The Committee appointed in the Archdiocese of Baltimore bankruptcy case to advocate on behalf of survivors has noted the election of a new leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV. This has raised concerns among some regarding his commitment to the prevention and investigation of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. This article summarizes those concerns. The Committee wishes to acknowledge those concerns and share that it is fully committed to its work in this case to both achieve a financial settlement for survivors and the adoption of policies that will end sexual abuse within the Catholic Church.

Third Survivor Impact Statement Hearing Under Consideration

Previously in this bankruptcy, Survivors have addressed the Court and Archbishop directly to make clear the impact of abuse suffered. These statements, given without questioning from any party, are crucial for conveying the devastating effects of abuse. The Official Committee is exploring the possibility of scheduling another hearing for additional Survivor statements. If you wish to participate, please inform your attorney. Those without legal representation can email baltimoresurvivorteam@stinson.com. Additional updates will be provided as they become available.
