A Helena Independent Record report on the Roman Catholic Diocese of Helena's finances after U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Terry L. Myers confirmed its Chapter 11 reorganization plan on 4 March 2015, describing the 21 million dollar victim trust, the more than 360 claimants it compensates and the diocese's reduced financial position afterward.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Reliability tier 2: the diocese's own local paper of record, independent of the diocese itself, covering the confirmed plan and its aftermath with direct access to diocesan finances, corroborated by the Spokesman-Review's regional coverage of the same confirmation.
Notes
Tier 2: the source for the 21 million dollar trust figure and the diocese's post-confirmation financial position, cross checked against the Spokesman-Review's independent reporting of the same plan.
