Attorney Ron Weil Criticizes Catholic Church's Asset Protection Amid Abuse Lawsuits
As the Catholic Church faces mounting legal claims over sexual abuse scandals, attorney Ron Weil has condemned its financial maneuvers to shield assets from liability. Weil, who has litigated numerous abuse cases, compared the church’s tactics to corporate giants like Enron, alleging an intentional effort to avoid compensating victims. He successfully challenged the Miami Archdiocese’s claims of financial independence from a parish school in one case, demonstrating its control over key operations. His work highlights the broader legal battle to hold church institutions accountable despite their complex financial structures.
