BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Archdiocese agreed Tuesday to pay $85 million to settle more than 500 lawsuits from people who claim Roman Catholic priests abused them, the largest known payout by a U.S. diocese to settle molestation charges. The deal, finalized after months of negotiations, marks a major step toward quieting the crisis that has torn at the fabric of America's fourth-largest archdiocese for nearly two years and spread throughout the country and beyond.
