Diocese of Oakland seeks to pull plug on bankruptcy, send sex abuse cases back to court

In a motion filed this week, the diocese said its latest proposal to pay $165 million over five years to settle roughly 350 claims of alleged abuse drew hardly a response from the victims' attorneys, and neither did several previous offers. A local division of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court may decide next month whether to allow the church to pull the plug on its Chapter 11 proceedings, which Diocese attorneys said have become expensive because their creditors have effectively bled (the church) dry.
