The Archdiocese of New York announced plans to establish a $300 million fund to compensate victims of sexual abuse who have sued the church. A spokesperson said the fund would cover settlements for most, if not all, of the roughly 1,300 outstanding claims against the archdiocese. Cardinal Timothy Dolan said the archdiocese would pay for the fund by reducing its budget and selling off assets, including completing the sale of its former headquarters in Manhattan. The announcement came as a federal judge on Monday approved a settlement for the New Orleans Archdiocese to pay $230 million to hundreds of victims of clergy sexual abuse.
