The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of
Hartford has taken its dispute with an insurance company to trial,
seeking reimbursement of more than $1 million in payments made to settle
sexual misconduct cases involving priests and minors.
Testimony began Friday in a bench trial before U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven. The
case is one of many around the country in which insurance companies
have balked at paying claims related to lawsuits against church
officials seeking to hold them responsible for sexual assaults of minors
by clergy — accusations that in many instances date back decades and
involve priests who have since died.
