	Former Milwaukee Bishop: I Did My Best By Associated Press, carried in Boston Herald January 13, 2010 http://www.bostonherald.com/news/national/midwest/view/20100113former_milwaukee_bishop_i_did_my_best/srvc=home&position=recent MADISON, Wis. - Former Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland says he handled sex abuse cases as best he could. Weakland sent an e-mail to The Associated Press responding to state Sen. Glenn Grothman’s remarks at a hearing Tuesday. The West Bend Republican called Weakland a "piece of work" and church officials "screwballs" for allowing Weakland to attend new Archbishop Jerome Listecki’s installation Mass last week. In his e-mail Weakland apologizes for any sexual abuse. He says he did his best with the cases with the knowledge and experience he had. He says God will be his judge. Weakland resigned as archbishop in 2002 after admitting the archdiocese secretly paid $450,000 to a man who accused him of sexual abuse. The archdiocese has said it has paid out $28 million to settle charges related to clergy sexual abuse through June.
