Appleton –
The attorneys for two brothers claim the Green Bay Catholic Diocese knew one of their priests was a problem before he molested them as children.
The Merryfield brothers, who squared off in court Tuesday with the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay, are seeking $900,000 in damages.
Opening statements began Tuesday morning in Outagamie County court.
The Merryfields claim the diocese knew about former priest John Patrick Feeney’s history of sexual abuse and repeatedly transferred him to other parishes without telling anyone.
