Something similar is supposed to have happened in Boston's North End
-- a church community or athletic center got sold off to pay for abuse
settlements, and have since been turned into high-end condos.  The
kicker was that the center had originally been paid for with funds
raised by the community.

I wish I were a practicing Catholic so I could stop.
