Churches going bankrupt? I'm sure that the occassional Protestant church goes belly-up, but what you're implying is that CATHOLIC diocese are going bankrupt, which is an entirely different thing and completely unrelated to the point of your post. The diocese that have filed for reorganization (Chapter 11, not Chapter 7) have done so because their insurance limits have been exhausted by sexual molestation claims (SML) with other outstanding SML claims still in the wings. You should also realize that the only diocese that have declared bankruptcy have been in the US, which pretty much negates discussion of Canadian and/or Australian practices since the ramifications you claim simply aren't there.
I agree with Cyn. There's not much to discuss here. And if anyone thinks I'm being too harsh on a newbie, I welcome any comments or concerns voiced via PM.
