		LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Archdiocese of Louisville is suing the city's government, contending that it is interfering with religious freedom by refusing to allow buildings to be torn down to make way for church parking.
		In its suit, the archdiocese argues that the Tonini buildings, one of which was built in 1869 and the other in 1880, have deteriorated to the point that saving them isn't financially feasible.
		The archdiocese also argues that the standards the city uses to designate structures as landmarks are arbitrary and "further imposed a substantial burden on the religious exercise of the Archdiocese, St. Martin and St. Martin's members."

	freedomforum.org: Kentucky judge refuses to seal church sex-abuse lawsuits
		LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Jefferson County Circuit judge ruled yesterday that more than 100 lawsuits claiming sexual abuse within the Roman Catholic Church would remain open despite efforts by the Archdiocese of Louisville to seal the documents.
		The archdiocese filed the motion citing a 1998 state statute that says documents involving sexual abuse with a minor must be sealed by the court if the complaint is made more than five years after the abuse occurred.
		The ruling said the statute is "inapplicable to the archdiocese." Therefore, a ruling on the constitutionality of the law was not warranted.

		The settlement, which is not covered by insurance, deals a massive financial blow to the largest religious organization in Louisville, which has already planned 34 job cuts and a $2 million budget cut in the fiscal year beginning in July in anticipation of an agreement.
		The archdiocese had $61.8 million in investments in June 2002, according to its most recent financial report, although church officials said that figure is considerably lower because of stock market declines.
		That means that the Louisville archdiocese is paying out of its own pockets even more than the Diocese of Dallas did in 1998 in its record $30.9 million settlement with 12 victims of the Rev. Rudolph Kos.

		A Prospect man filed suit against the Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville yesterday claiming he was sexually abused by the Rev. Louis E. Miller in the 1970s and that the archdiocese knew Miller was a "sexual predator."
		A former parishioner at St. Elizabeth of Hungary Church in Louisville sued Miller and the archdiocese in 1990, alleging Miller molested him in 1977 when he was 15.
		William McMurry, Turner's lawyer, said that while Kentucky statute of limitations generally requires lawsuits to be filed within a year of an alleged offense, the revelation in Sunday's story of the sister-in-law's testimony should restart the clock on the statue of limitations and allow the lawsuit to proceed.
