Damned Pervert Priests - and other assorted Holy Scumbags

[Fake Messiah]

There is 11 pages of their possesions

The items, including rings, precious gemstones, gold and silver chains, and antique furniture, were disclosed as part of the archdiocese’s most recent court filing in its ongoing Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Attorneys for the church declined to provide a value for most of the items (they’re listed as collectibles), instead describing their value as “unknown.”

Among the possessions:

•A cross made of gold set with 36 emeralds.

•A gold ring set with an amethyst in the center surrounded by 28 diamonds.

•A locket with a profile of St. Peter surrounded by 16 sapphires and eight pearls.

The full list of collectibles spans 11 pages and is one of many insights into the finances and operations of the archdiocese.

The court filings also make it clear the archdiocese had considered bankruptcy for some time. Church officials paid various attorneys and consulting firms more than $750,000 over a one-year period for advice about how to handle a restructuring through the bankruptcy process, according to court records.

Although revenue is down, the archdiocese has significant land holdings and investments it can draw on, in addition to its collection of jewels and antiquities, to help pay the hundreds if not thousands of sexual abuse victims who are expected to bring claims. In its filing declaring bankruptcy, the archdiocese included a list of nearly 700 unnamed survivors for whom the church states it has addresses on file and who could bring claims against it during this process.

The archdiocese lists its total assets at more than $200 million, although that is likely an undercount. Properties are valued at what the archdiocese paid for them at the time of purchase and the collectibles — all the antiques and jewels — are not valued.
