Oct. 8, 2023 | Archdiocese of Baltimore and Chapter 11

The Archdiocese of Baltimore filed for federal Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization Sept. 29, in the face of many potential lawsuits as a result of a new Maryland law that repealed the statute of limitations for civil claims of abuse. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talked one-on-one with Archbishop William E. Lori about the impact of the archdiocese’s Chapter 11 reorganization and his goal to equitably compensate all victim-survivors, while continuing the mission of the church, parishes and ministries.
