Judge approves Duluth diocese settlement of $30 million

Liberty Mutual Insurance Company agreed last month to contribute $6.5 million to victims of child sexual abuse. With four other insurance payments already approved, the settlement agreement brings the sum victims stand to receive to more than $30 million.
