The creditors committee in the bankruptcy of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has asked a judge to give clergy sex abuse victims more time to file claims, The Associated Press reported on Friday. Aug. 3 is the current deadline but the committee wants that pushed back to May 25, 2016, which would align with the deadline the Legislature has set for victims to file abuse lawsuits. In a court filing, the committee notes that the bankruptcy judge has expressed concerns about the church's efforts to publicize the deadline. A hearing on the request has been scheduled for July 30.
