Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Oct, 11:43 · Archive

Vermont's Roman Catholic Diocese has filed to dismiss its bankruptcy case after two years and $2 million in legal fees. The move comes as sex-abuse claimants recently rejected a $29 million settlement offer, with claimants arguing the diocese is hiding most of its assets.

The filing precedes a related creditors' lawsuit seeking access to an estimated $500 million in local parish assets. The diocese is Vermont's largest religious denomination.
