Spokane diocese asks people for $10 millionI have some different parables in mind about this - but I'll hold that thought for more reflection and prayer.

SPOKANE -- It's the Easter season in the Roman Catholic Church, but in parishes around Spokane, sermons on the joy of the resurrection of Jesus Christ are mixed with urgent pleas for money to pay people who were sexually abused by clergy decades ago.
Priests sometimes evoke the parable of the good Samaritan -- who stopped to help a man who had been beaten and robbed when others looked the other way -- as they wage a unique campaign to raise money to settle the Spokane diocese's long-running sex abuse scandal.
