28. Didn't they start shutting down churches and selling property in
Boston? Or was that just talk about doing it? I can't remember.

I'd agree that there's some wiggle room left in there when they talk about contributions "designated for *specific* diocesan ministries and programs or projects" (Emphasis mine) That seems to leave unrestricted gifts free for them to apply against the settlement.

If I were in the diocese, I'd be restricting to particular uses any monies I donated from now on, you can bet that!
