Court to Hear Dispute Over $60 Million Bequest to Disgraced Church

The niece of a woman who gave more than $60 million to a now shamed Catholic order is requesting the Rhode Island Supreme Court to let her sue. 

The court will hear arguments today in lawsuits brought about by Mary Lou Dauray against the Legion of Christ, whose founder clandestinely molested seminarians and fathered three children.  Dauray’s aunt, Gabrielle Mee, died in 2008 and left everything in her possession to the order.
