		While the $8.25 million is less than what the archdiocese might have had to pay had the cases gone to trial, it represents a significant commitment by the archdiocese, which has paid $11 million over the last 10 years in compensation to victims of clergy sexual abuse.
		While the archdiocese had prepared to sell Cousins Center before the California cases were settled, it had planned to use the revenue from that sale to renew the endowment of St. Francis Seminary, pay for the move of archdiocesan offices to the seminary campus, and to endow the needs of the Cousins Center offices.

	JS Online:
		The Archdiocese of Milwaukee has averted the possibility of bankruptcy and reached settlements totaling $16.65 million with 10 victims of clergy sexual abuse whose lawsuits were heading for trial in California, according to the archdiocese and attorneys representing all but one of the victims.
		Asked about the archdiocese's liability if the cases had gone to trial, Dolan said the financial impact could have been "towering." The cases were "particularly hideous," and the plaintiffs' attorneys were seeking civil and punitive damages, he added.

	The Sexual Abuse of Children in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee
		When over a half a dozen priests were removed from active parish ministry in 2002, however, the two bishops from the Milwaukee Archdiocese and Project Benjamin officials were invisible to the affected congregations which were experiencing the shock and upheaval of learning their pastors and priests were sex offenders.
		The civil claims in California against the Milwaukee Archdiocese won a unanimous court of appeals decision in the Fourth District Court in October of 2003. In January 2004 the California Supreme Court declined to hear the church’s appeal and the cases are moving forward.
		In his interview with the Milwaukee Journal, the archbishop insisted that clergy who abuse children in the Milwaukee Archdiocese are not “real” pedophiles and therefore not dangerous. Other professions may be dealing with true pedophiles—Boy Scout leaders, teachers, and coaches—but not the Catholic priesthood.
