The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis's own account that its Chapter 11 bankruptcy case was formally closed in US Bankruptcy Court on December 21, three months after Judge Robert Kressel approved a $210 million reorganization plan on September 25. The archdiocese filed for bankruptcy in January 2015 amid clergy sexual abuse claims dating to the 1940s, with 453 claims ultimately filed. Funding came from $170 million in insurance payouts, $35 million from archdiocese property and fund sales, and nearly $3 million in voluntary parish and priest pledges. Content corroborated against independent contemporaneous AP and Fox News wire coverage of the same closure.
