Tucson diocese emerges from bankruptcy:
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Tucson officially emerged from bankruptcy Tuesday, exactly a year after sex-abuse lawsuits drove it to seek Chapter 11 protection.
Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas and Susan Boswell, the diocese’s lead lawyer in the bankruptcy proceedings, said the diocese has sent a check for $15.7 million to begin the settlement trust, or pool, to be used to compensate victims abused by priests.
Kicanas apologized again to all victims "who have been harmed within the household of faith."
