“Knowing the insureds face more than 1,500 Underlying claims involving allegations of the gravest magnitude, Chubb reassured them to their face while secretly stabbing them in the back for years,” church lawyers said in the filing. “Such fraud and sabotage easily meet the threshold for moral culpability necessary for punitive damages.”

If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas, or in Latin, qui cum canibus concumbunt cum pulicibus surgent. “He that lieth down with dogs shall rise up with fleas” has been attributed to Benjamin Franklin ‘s Poor Richard’s Almanack
It saddens me that this moral disaster keeps coming back up again and again.
An “insurance company” subverting the interests of its insured to avoid paying off? I’m shocked. Shocked I say.
“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!” Captain Renault in Casablanca
It’s a total disgrace that the Catholic Church has not purged itself of everyone connected to this scandal.
And, to make it about money, just seems to amplify it and make it worse.
Argh!
