Anonymous Unregistered	Christ is Risen! This thread has wandered far, a new topic is a good idea, and we'll let this one end? Elias

Stephanos I Member Registered: 02/03/02 Posts: 2502 Loc: West Coast	Thomas, The sad fact is that it cost more money to go to court than to pay a settlement. A settlement is not an addmission of guilt! Nor is it "hush money" Insurance companies require the Church to settle out of court simply because it saves them MONEY, while in some cases the innocent cleric must be the one that really suffers injustice.

Axios Member Registered: 01/14/02 Posts: 802 Loc: western coast, eastern rite	I'm not sure the above comment is to this tread, but I would like to respond. A settlement is an act of restitution for wrong done, though one may avoid a public admission of guilt. No insurance company can force the Catholic Church or any church to settle. I woudl think that if the Church is settleing for matters it is not responsible for, it is committing a sin. I know by the standards of the world (as with Enron) settlements while denying responsibilty are common. That does not make it right. I think it is an abuse of justice. I would note Pilate was clearly willing to allow Christ to settle. My hope would be that the Church would rise above such behavior. Axios P.S. Since I on a roll, my other pet peeve: "I apologize if I have offended anyone." I hate that saying. It admits no offensive while has the pretense of an apology. It drives me up the wall everytime I hear it. [ 04-20-2002: Message edited by: Axios ]

Stephanos I Member Registered: 02/03/02 Posts: 2502 Loc: West Coast	Sorry Axios but the sad fact is that the Secular Insurance Companies are calling the shots. Which agrivates me to no end. We should do away with them and have our own insurance coverage. I aggree when there is no crime or no evidence there should be no settlement.
