The Catholic Archdiocese of New York has agreed to sell the land it currently owns beneath the historic Lotte New York Palace Hotel, New York’s first five-star hotel, for a staggering $490 million to help pay survivors of clergy sex abuse. The agreement comes a week after Cardinal Timothy Dolan announced plans to sell real estate to pay child sex abuse survivors in the archdiocese.
