The Archdiocese of Milwaukee announced today that it is filing for a chapter 11 reorganization under US bankruptcy regulations. The press will assuredly report widely on this story and I'm sure the commentators will have much to say. I am pleased to see that Archbishop Jerome Listecki, in his typical fashion, had the courage to state the truth prompting this decision simply, starkly and boldly. "We are here because of one reason: priests sexually abused minors. For that, I feel deeply ashamed."
There is much background information on the archdiocesan web site, but the statement of the Archbishop entitled "Love One Another" certainly bears reading.
