WATCH LIVE: San Diego Catholic Diocese says it may have to file for bankruptcy after hundreds of victims file claims of sexual abuse.
McElroy's announcement was first made Thursday evening, during a meeting he led with nearly 200 diocesan representatives; an estimated 80% of pastors from the diocese were in attendance, according to Eckery.
Concerns about funding come after the passage of Assembly Bill 218, which took effect at the start of the year. AB 218 lifted the statute of limitations for any lawsuits claiming sexual abuse of minors filed between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2022, according to the diocese. San Diego-based attorney Irwin Zalkin told NBC 7 in January 2020 that he planned to file 125 suits against the diocese, including a group of 20 he filed Jan. 2, 2020.
