Analects of Joseph Zwilling: On the relationship between CJCC Executive Diretctor David Catalfamo and Archdiocese of New York Chancellor John Cahill

NY Daily News: As the Catholic Church and its insurer fight over paying abuse victims, a new group sparks questions

The "new group" is the Coalition for Just and Compassionate Compensation (CJCC), which describes itself as an “alliance of survivors of child abuse and their advocates committed to ensuring that survivors receive the restitution that they deserve."  The article questions the genesis and key figures of the group, which is trying to get the public on its bandwagon for getting the insurance companies to pay restitution to victims of abuse.
