The Diocese of Santa Rosa filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on Monday in the face of potentially hundreds of sexual abuse lawsuits.
"This decision was made necessary due to the number of child sexual abuse lawsuits filed against the Diocese over the course of the past three years," Vasa said in the release.
"These cases are too numerous to settle individually and so they have accumulated until the closing of the three-year window," he said. Vasa said the decision allows the diocese, under court supervision, to bring all the parties together in one place to resolve the"claims fairly and finally."
