Ross, Dixon & Bell, LLP

RDB Files Motion on Behalf of San Diego Catholic Parishioners
RDB partners Fletcher W. Paddison and Michael J. Whitton filed a motion in bankruptcy court today on behalf of individual parishioners who are part of a committee devoted to protecting the schools, churches, and charities of the Catholic Diocese of San Diego from potential sale as part of a bankruptcy settlement.

The San Diego Diocese filed bankruptcy in February 2007 before the first of the numerous sex abuse trials involving members of the clergy got started. The group representing the plaintiffs in the sex abuse cases has filed a related lawsuit seeking to have the Catholic churches and Parish schools included as assets in the bankruptcy estate, which puts the churches and schools at risk of being liquidated to satisfy victims’ claims.

The motion filed today by Mr. Paddison and Mr. Whitton seeks to intervene in this lawsuit in order to give a voice to the local parishioners of San Diego and Imperial counties who have funded the acquisition, construction, and maintenance of the churches and schools through individual contributions.

“We believe the parish schools, churches and accounts are not the property of the Bankruptcy Estate, as these institutions have been built and paid for solely through parishioner resources,� said Mr. Paddison. “We further believe that the possible dissolution of these faith-based resources would be a tremendous loss to our community of faith and negatively impact the community at large.�

The parishioners hope for a rapid and fair settlement for the victims of clergy abuse in a way that does not cripple the Parishes. Mr. Paddison said, “these people deserve just compensation, but we have to find a way to accomplish that with fairness for all.�
