LA Church to Pay $600M for Clergy Abuse  7/14/07 - By Gillian Flaccus  - Los 
Angeles (AP) - The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles will settle  its 
clergy abuse cases for at least $600 million, by far the largest payout in  
the church's sexual abuse scandal, The Associated Press learned Saturday.   
Attorneys for the archdiocese and alleged victims are expected to announce the  
deal Monday, the day the first of more than 500 clergy abuse cases was 
scheduled 
 for jury selection, according to two people with knowledge of the agreement. 
The  sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the settlement had not 
been made  public.  The archdiocese and its insurers will pay between $600 
million and  $650 million to about 500 plaintiffs - an average of $1.2 million 
to 
$1.3  million per person. The settlement also calls for the release of 
confidential  priest personnel files after review by a judge assigned to 
oversee the  
litigation, the sources said.
