About this case
David O'Connell alleges that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops misled parishioners about the purposes of Peter's Pence donations and used funds for lavish expenses rather than philanthropic projects. The class action remains ongoing after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review an appellate ruling that rejected the bishops' effort to immediately appeal its church-autonomy defense.
