Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
Reliability tier 1: the archdiocese's own official newspaper reporting the finalized terms of its own settlement, naming the presiding judge, the case count and the payment schedule directly rather than through a third party. NotesTier 1: the archdiocese's own account of the finalized settlement, useful for the presiding judge's name and the payment schedule, cross checked against independent national coverage of the same negotiation.
