MILWAUKEE (WI)
WTAQ
MILWAUKEE (WTAQ) – A bankruptcy judge ordered the Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese Thursday to begin what she called “meaningful settlement negotiations” with the church’s creditors.
And depending how those talks go, Judge Susan Kelley said she might bring in a mediator to hammer out agreements as early as June.
Kelley ordered the talks during a status conference Thursday into the Chapter 7 bankruptcy case the Milwaukee Archdiocese filed more than a year ago.
On another issue, Kelley said she would consider a public release of at least some of the depositions given by former Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland and retired Auxiliary Bishop Richard Sklba.
