Description

The New Orleans Archdiocese agrees to pay at least $230 million to hundreds of clergy sexual abuse victims, following years of negotiations. The settlement, approved by a federal judge, includes new policies to prevent future abuse, such as a survivors seat on the internal review board and an outside expert to monitor child abuse prevention practices. Survivors shared their harrowing experiences, including substance abuse, intimacy struggles, and lingering guilt, with some finding forgiveness and others expressing skepticism about future accountability.
