LOS ANGELES - Sobs and a moment of silence for those who died during years of negotiations punctuated a Monday hearing at which a judge accepted a $660 million settlement between the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles and alleged victims of clergy sex abuse.
Plaintiffs’ attorneys can expect to receive up to 40 percent of the settlement money — or $264 million.
The settlements push the total amount paid out by the U.S. Roman Catholic Church since 1950 to more than $2 billion, with about a quarter of that coming from the Los Angeles archdiocese.
Cardinal Roger Mahony, whose archdiocese counts 4.3 million Catholics, sat through the hearing but did not speak. He issued an apology Sunday after the settlement was announced and said Monday in a statement that he would spend the rest of the day praying for those who claimed abuse.
