U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Susan V. Kelley said most of the allegations raised in the claims were committed by 44 diocesan priests already identified as abusers on the archdiocese website, many of whom are dead.

"My review has not indicated one iota of a public safety crisis to be concerned about in those proofs of claims," Kelley said during a hearing Wednesday. "Absolutely none, and I've looked at every one."….
