Jesus Saves. And Spends.

Oh, you crazy Catholics.

"The settlements 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."

TWO. BILLION.

And in the "Gee, ya think?" Department, this quote from the article:

"It's making me reevaluate my views of whether people in the ministry should be married. People do have needs,".

So, from what I understand, they pay out the settlement and don't have to face a jury trial and actually testify.

At least someone sort of owned up to some of the horrid shit.
