MN-NPR: St. Paul/Minn Archdiocese needs $40M for sex abuse settlement. Here's where it's looking

FWIW: MPR hates the Catholic Church in a spectacular way.

The plan includes $5 million paid out from the archdiocese over five years, $4 million from three prominent Twin Cities Catholic high schools and a $3 million "voluntary contribution" from the nearly 200 Twin Cities parishes that operate under the archdiocese.

The archdiocese has already sold $8.8 million in assets.
