Bankruptcy of a Diocese: Symptom of Conciliar Apostasy
Portal Catholic News Agency reports that the “Diocese” of Alexandria, Louisiana, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (October 31, 2025), becoming the 41st such entity in the United States to seek court-supervised reorganization due to clergy sexual abuse claims. The “bishop” Robert Marshall Jr. issued an apology video declaring this action necessary because “some past priest-perpetrators sexually abused minors,” while emphasizing that parishes remain “untouched” by the filing. The “diocese” cites 85 abuse claims with more expected, listing $16.7 million in assets and pledging $4 million plus insurance proceeds to a compensation fund. This occurs alongside a “reorganization plan” titled “Together as One Church: Embracing the Future of Hope,” which will entail parish closures amidst declining sacramental participation.
