GREEN BAY – Two Fox Valley brothers, who say they were sexually abused by a former priest, are relieved to have their court battle complete with the Green Bay Catholic Diocese.

Three days ago, a settlement was announced with the diocese and Todd and Troy Merryfield. However, the brothers said today their fight isn’t over.

Former priest John Feeney was convicted of abusing the Merryfields while Feeney served at a Freedom church in 1978.

The brothers sued the diocese for fraud, claiming the diocese kept quiet about Feeney having an abusive history.
