Catholic Church avoids abuse-deal
The Archdiocese of Los Angeles said on Sunday it would pay people who were sexually abused by priests as children a record $660 million, although some victims regretted it meant church leaders would not face questioning in court.
"I have a mixed reaction," said Steve Sanchez, 47, one of 12 victims who had been scheduled to go to trial.
The deal was the latest chapter in a clergy abuse scandal that has rocked the Roman Catholic Church worldwide, damaging its moral standing and forcing five U.S. diocese to seek bankruptcy protection.
