MILWAUKEE — A break down in talks between Milwaukee’s Archdiocese and victims of sex abuse by priests means they’re all headed back to court — as the Archdiocese approaches its second year of bankruptcy.
The church and its 575 victims have been in court-ordered mediation since July, trying to hammer out what one judge called “astronomical costs.”
An advocacy group for those abused by priests says the Archdiocese has refused to accept responsibility.
“This is a really sad day for victims and their families. What this is about — and what it’s been about since they day they filed bankruptcy — is secrets,” John Pilmeier with Survivors Network for Those Abused by Priests said.
