An OSV News report (via Catholic Review) that a federal bankruptcy court approved the Diocese of Harrisburg's reorganization plan on February 15, 2023, three years after the diocese filed Chapter 11 on February 19, 2020. The plan establishes an $18.25 million Survivor Compensation Trust ($7.5 million from the diocese, $10.75 million from settling insurers) covering 60 abuse claims filed after the 2018 Pennsylvania grand jury report. Quotes Bishop Ronald Gainer and SNAP's Shaun Dougherty, who criticized the bankruptcy process.
