The Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles has agreed to pay $880 million to settle childhood sex abuse claims by more than 1,300 alleged victims.

The settlement brings to about $1.5 billion the amount paid out by the archdiocese to resolve sex abuse cases over the past two decades .

"I am sorry for every one of these incidents, from the bottom of my heart," Archbishop José Gomez wrote in a message Wednesday announcing the proposed settlement.

Banis: "If there was a retreat and they were up in the mountains, they might have technically been in the Diocese of San Bernardino , but it was a priest from Los Angeles who is perpetrating the harm" The settlement will be paid through archdiocese “reserves, investments and loans,” along with other assets and payments by select religious orders involved in cases.
