Buffalo Diocese sues to get $1.7 million SBA loan through Covid-19 relief program
The Buffalo Diocese has asked a judge to allow it to apply for a $1.7 million loan through the national Paycheck Protection Program, after the Small Business Administration determined the diocese wasn’t eligible because it declared bankruptcy.
With Catholic Masses suspended during the pandemic, area parishes have been unable to bring in offertory collections. In turn, the parishes have been unable to meet their financial obligations to the diocese, lawyers said in court papers.
Several other dioceses around the country and some Catholic parishes in Western New York have applied for and received loans through the Paycheck Protection Program.
Buffalo Diocese asked a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge to put a halt on any Child Victims Act cases that are continuing to proceed in state courts against area Catholic parishes, schools and other entities.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
