We also received the following statement from attorneys Richard Trahant, Soren Gisleson, and John Denenea:

“We represent the most clergy sexual abuse survivors in the State of Louisiana. The Archdiocese of New Orleans ran from our lawsuits and hid in bankruptcy court. The Archdiocese has continued to beat up these survivors and tried to minimize the value of the 452 survivors’ claims by constantly shoving the statute of limitations in their faces. No more. Yesterday, the Louisiana Legislature showed the moral authority that the Archdiocese lacks completely.”
