Catholic Archdiocese Battling SF Over Property Tax

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― San Francisco is now locked in a legal battle with the city's Catholic Archdiocese over the transfer of church properties to non-profit groups.

The archdiocese has already paid out $40 million because of sexual abuse lawsuits, but some speculate that the church wants to shield its properties from future lawsuits by transferring them into new non-profit-holding companies.

The properties include well known sites like Mission Dolores, Old St. Mary's, and St. Francis of Assisi Church. The city is now saying the Church must pay property transfer-taxes like everybody else does.

Hank Plante looks at the two sides of the dispute in his video report.
