KXLY News Four:
Spokane Diocese Says It Does Not Own Parishes
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Spokane Friday said it does not own 81 parish churches and nearly 100 other assets, and thus they cannot be sold to pay damages to people who say they're victims of sexual abuse by priests.
The diocese filed documents in U.S. Bankruptcy Court challenging the assertion by victims that Bishop William Skylstad owns the 81 churches, 16 schools, one high school and 79 other Catholic assets in the sprawling region.
The diocese asked U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Patricia Williams to reject a motion by victims' attorneys that she rule in their favor. Instead the church wants her to rule that Skylstad only controls about $11-million worth of assets that belong specifically to the diocese. A hearing is scheduled for June 27.
The Spokane Diocese faces sexual-abuse lawsuits by 58 people.
