A Statement Responding to the Order to Show Cause

Under the strong and compassionate leadership of Archbishop Aymond and his team of legal and professional advisors, efforts to bring resolution to the Archdiocese of New Orleans’ Chapter 11 Bankruptcy case are moving forward in good faith.
 
While our attorneys will work to formally respond to the court’s order, we are pleased to have the opportunity to share our significant progress in negotiations to bring just and equitable compensation to the survivors and creditors while providing a sustainable path forward for the ministry of the Catholic Church to continue in our area. Despite the unacceptable amount of time and money spent over the past five years, we believe resolution of these bankruptcy proceedings will be for the benefit of all survivors and creditors and the faithful of the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
 
We are grateful to the mediators and all those who have assisted in helping us move this case forward.
