The judge in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee bankruptcy case said Wednesday that she sees no current child safety crisis in the 550-plus sex-abuse claims filed in the case, suggesting that claims to the contrary - by victims’ advocates and lawmakers - distort statements made by attorneys in a Feb. 9 hearing.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Susan V. Kelley said most of the allegations raised in the claims were committed by 44 diocesan priests already identified as abusers on the archdiocese website, many of whom are dead.
It’s good to see the media not buying into the negative hype on this.Obviously the abuse that has happened is horrible but it’s good that people realize it isn’t as widespread as some people make it out to be.
