Are there 600 million reasons why the Catholic Church wants illegals here?
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles will settle its clergy abuse cases for at least $600 million, by far the largest payout in the church's sexual abuse scandal, The Associated Press learned Saturday.
Attorneys for the archdiocese and the plaintiffs are expected to announce the deal Monday, the day the first of more than 500 clergy abuse cases was scheduled for jury selection, according to two people with knowledge of the agreement. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the settlement had not been made public.
The archdiocese and its insurers will pay between $600 million and $650 million to about 500 plaintiffs — an average of $1.2 million to $1.3 million per person. The settlement also calls for the release of confidential priest personnel files after review by a judge assigned to oversee the litigation, the sources said.
The settlements would push the total amount paid out by the U.S. church since 1950 to more than $2 billion, with about a quarter of that coming from the Los Angeles archdiocese.
It wasn't immediately clear how the payout would be split among the insurers, the archdiocese and several Roman Catholic religious orders. A judge must sign off on the agreement, and final details were being ironed out.
Answer:
I think the illegals should be sent to the Pope in Italy.
And having all those illegals money won't stop the priest from molesting.
not all immigrants are catholic
and not all catholics are hispanic.
you, in fact, are just looking for one more thing to pin on immigrants.
That's pretty low and racist of you. Many immigrants are not catholic and many priests who commit sexual abuse are not Hispanic.

Roman Catholic - largest single denomination, especially predominant among those of Irish, Filipino, Spanish, Italian, Polish, French, and French Canadian descent, as well as a minority of those of German descent.
Baptist - theologically descended from the Anabaptists of Switzerland and Mennonites of Netherlands, but culturally associated with the American South. Now strongly promoted among Chinese.
Methodism - originating in Great Britain.
Episcopal Church in the United States - Anglican, formerly Church of England
Lutheranism - Germany & Nordic countries
Presbyterianism - originating in Scotland.
Adventism - founded in the U.S.
Evangelicalism - notably associated with politically conservative causes, and ideology.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) - founded in U.S.
Jehovah's Witnesses - founded in the U.S.
United Church of Christ - Formed in 1957 as a united and uniting church from a union of the Congregational Christian Church and Evangelical and Reformed Church
