MILWAUKEE - The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee is slashing 37 jobs. That's about one-fifth of its workers.

It's a move to pay off a $3 million debt, part of a $17 million settlement of sexual abuse lawsuits involving former Milwaukee priests.

"We did have to take out a loan to pay for our part of the responsibility of the California lawsuits," diocese spokesperson Kathleen Hohl told TODAY'S TMJ4. "Every single day we pay interest on that loan."
