Christian Brothers Face Financial Collapse

The Christian Brothers are drowning in debt, spending $1.7 million weekly to compensate abuse survivors — and warning they’ll be bankrupt by September. Facing 23 lawsuits, they’ve begged the court to delay all cases until next week, arguing every legal dollar spent is a dollar stolen from victims. With only $23 million in cash, they’re eyeing a $216 million property sale — but even that may fall short. Lawyers for 200+ survivors push back, saying a week is too short to consult trauma-stricken clients, and demand the court address their asset plans in August. The judge granted a delay until Thursday, balancing urgent payout needs with victims’ rights in a high-stakes, cash-starved standoff.
