The accusers, who agreed not to disclose the financial terms, were sober in victory. Cash "is not a medicine. It won't make any one of us healthy," said Peter Calderone. Porter, now married, out of the priesthood and living in Minnesota, faces sex charges there and in Massachusetts. Last month the sluggish U.S. Catholic bishops made their first joint response after...
