Dispute stops Gallup Diocese from exiting bankruptcy

The Gallup Independent reports (http://bit.ly/1hoDjlp ) that Phoenix attorney Robert E. Pastor has filed a lawsuit against the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, the Pennsylvania religious order that founded St. Michael Indian School in St. Michaels, Arizona, claiming a Navajo woman was sexually abused at the school by a Franciscan friar.

Because St. Michael already was part of the settlement, the diocese argues they should be allowed to exit the court.
