The Archdiocese of Milwaukee will soon release thousands of pages of documents on the child sex abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic Church, including the deposition given by Cardinal Timothy Dolan in February. NY1’s Mahsa Saeidi filed the following report.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan’s handling of the child sex abuse scandal that rocked the Catholic Church will soon be public.

The cardinal’s deposition is among 3,000 documents being released on July 1.

All of the documents relate to the alleged sexual abuse of children by clergy in Milwaukee.

“I think the Catholic Church has learned a very painful lesson on what not to do in terms of dealing with sexual abuse,” said Joseph Zwilling, spokesperson for the Archdiocese of New York.

Prior to coming to the city, Dolan was Archbishop in Milwaukee from 2002 to 2009.
