CHURCH SUES FOR 'PERV' INSURANCE

Quote
Insurance giant AIG is short-changing the Catholic Church by refusing to pay on a policy the Brooklyn Diocese took out for claims against pervert priests, the church claims in a lawsuit.

According to the suit filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court, AIG has refused to cover a settlement the diocese negotiated with the parents of a girl allegedly abused between the ages of 11 and 14 by the Rev. James Smith at St. Kevin's Roman Catholic Church in Flushing.

Michael Dowd, the lawyer who represented the girl said the case was settled for $2 million, plus the ongoing cost of psychotherapy.

There shouldn't be such an insurance in the first place.

This is why insurance exist. People at St. Kevin's Roman Catholic Church have some common sense. AIG should payout if they took the premiums covering the Church from claims.

OK. So it was just a get out clause for the Crapolic church AND/OR the insurers.
I've got no sympathy for either. Matching concrete boots for 'em both.

How hateful of you.

I thought you'd be a lurking somewhere in the aether.
You're right, but I make no excuses: notice I didn't discriminate between one or the other.

I seem to remember reading a few years ago that several major american insurers had refused to renew policies with the catholic church because of the amount they'd had to pay out . The really sickening thing was that the church apparently dealt with these paedo priests by shipping them all out to parishes in Mexico . I guess god loves some of his children more than others ( and most mexicans probably can't afford expensive celebrity lawyers)

Considering the amount of litigation in the States right now, I am very doubtful about most of the cases made against the priests. As long as you can remember something, then some lawyer will put you on the gravy train. Nice.

A less than charitable observation, Baal, considering what some children all over the world have suffered at the hands of predatory priests.

So let's sacrifice dozens and dozens of good men, and pay a lot of money for people prepared to lie, in order to secure a little bit of money. That would be much more charitable I guess.
