    Canon Law on property again


    These old victims will probably get the church buildings I bet. Nice retirement
    planning. I hope they're atheists. Then at least they can claim ignorance.

    Archbishop John Vlazny says the church will follow its own internal law on property ownership, defying a federal bankruptcy judge's ruling on how to satisfy claims by victims of alleged priestly sex abuse.

    Vlazny told the Catholic Sentinel, the archdiocesan newspaper, that he considers church buildings and land the property of individual parishes, not the archdiocese. In a Dec. 30 ruling on the Portland Archdiocese, which filed for bankruptcy in 2004, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Elizabeth Perris said the archdiocese controlled these properties.
