Salvatore J. Cordileone shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfarch.org\/letter-to-the-faithful-from-archbishop-salvatore-j-cordileone-on-the-archdiocese-of-san-franciscos-filing-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-to-facilitate-settlements-with-abuse-survivors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the letter posted Monday on the archdiocese&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today, I am informing you that after much reflection, prayer, and consultation with our financial and legal advisors, the Archdiocese of San Francisco filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization,&#8221; the letter said. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The bankruptcy reorganization stems in large part from the more than 500 civil lawsuits &#8220;filed against the Archdiocese under state law AB-218, which allowed individuals to bring claims for childhood sexual abuse that otherwise would have been barred due to the expiration of the statute of limitations,&#8221; the letter said. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cordileone also commented on the filing in a video posted to YouTube Monday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-youtube-video embed--float-none embed--size-large embed--type-video\">\n<p>\n    <iframe class=\"embed__content\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/TgNNNKU-D0o?autoplay=0&amp;rel=1&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbsnews.com&amp;playsinline=1\" height=\"113\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" title=\"Archbishop Cordileone on filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to facilitate settlements with survivors\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/p><figcaption>\n    <span class=\"embed__caption\"><br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/TgNNNKU-D0o\" rel=\"noopener\">Archbishop Cordileone on filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to facilitate settlements with survivors<\/a><\/cite> by<br \/>\n      <cite><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@ArchdioceseofSanFrancisco\" rel=\"noopener\">Archdiocese of San Francisco<\/a><\/cite> on<br \/>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Cordileone noted the bankruptcy filing would cover only the legal entity known as &#8220;The Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco, a Corporation Sole.&#8221; The diocese&#8217;s parishes, schools, and other entities are not included in the filing and their operation should not be affected, the archbishop said.<\/p>\n<p>AB-218 was passed in 2019.

this month.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The archdiocese had previously sold excess property and drew on insurance to pay about $68 million to about 100 plaintiffs to settle claims filed under a 2002 state law. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remain committed to the healing and care of survivors who have suffered irreversible harm because of the sins of the Church&#8217;s ministers and ask you to join me in praying for our Archdiocese, parish communities, schools, and all survivors of sexual abuse,&#8221; Cordileone said in the letter. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Archdiocese of San Francisco joins a growing list of dioceses in the Bay Area and across the United States and California that have filed for protection under the bankruptcy laws, including the dioceses of <span class=\"link\"><a

Cordileone&#8217;s announcement Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cordileone&#8217;s decision to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is dangerous and demonstrates the archbishop&#8217;s priority is secrecy and
