New Orleans Catholic church sex abuse settlement draws anger
About $56 million from the settlement was being held back for a time to account for successful appeals.
Survivors of clergy abuse in the New Orleans archdiocese's bankruptcy case were informed that approximately $641,000 is the maximum individual payout under a settlement approved in December.
The archdiocese and others promised in open court that payments would be made by the end of spring 2026, but the process dragged on.
