The entire text by the Reverend Thomas P. Doyle, F. Ray Mouton, and Dr. Michael Peterson,
The Problem of Sexual Molestation by Roman Catholic Clergy: Meeting the Problem in a Comprehensive and Responsible Manner
(May 15, 1985), is reprinted as chapter 4 in Thomas P. Doyle, A. W. R. Sipe, and Patrick J. Wall,
Sex, Priests, and Secret Codes: The Catholic Church’s 2,000-Year Paper Trail of Sexual Abuse
(Los Angeles, 2006). In the original text, Mouton reported that one diocese (Lafayette, Louisiana) had seen $5 million in settlements and faced $100 million in claims; though he did not delineate how much of the settlements had been covered by insurance policies, the document addressed insurance issues. The manual guided its original readership of bishops through a series of questions about complex issues in the civil and criminal proceedings (pp. 112–13).
