Two brothers who settled an abuse case with the Green Bay Catholic Diocese say there are still priests who have not been identified or prosecuted for crimes against children.
Todd and Troy Merryfield won a $700,000 settlement from the Green Bay Catholic diocese.
In the 1970s the brothers were abused by Patrick Feeney, who was then a priest with the church. Speaking outside the local cathedral, the brothers said their settlement is cold comfort.
Todd Merryfield still lives in Wisconsin; his brother Troy lives in Virginia.
“Money doesn’t cure something like this, never does. Anyone who tells you that, they’re lying.”
