Cardinal defends move to protect US diocese from litigation from abuse victims

A US cardinal archbishop has accused opponents of quoting out of context his 2007 statement to the Vatican that he was strengthening a diocese's protection against litigation by child sexual abuse victims by putting most of its assets into a cemetery trust fund.
Cardinal Archbishop of New York Timothy Dolan told RTÉ's This Week opponents are ignoring that state law required him to move the money beyond diocesan control.
