56 lawsuits against Catholic Church that allege sexual abuse are before N.B. courts

Almost every month for a year, lawsuits have been filed against the Catholic Church in New Brunswick by alleged victims seeking compensation for sexual abuse by priests.
Many of the priests are dead, but that hasn't stopped the lawsuits in Moncton, Bathurst and Edmundston from piling up.  CBC News has found at least 56 lawsuits are still before the courts, despite an extensive conciliation process a few years ago.
