Former Milwaukee Archbishop gives deposition in connection with bankruptcy

Last Sunday, for the final time, Pope Benedict XVI addressed Catholics around the world from St. Peter's Square. His pending resignation will soon bring leaders of the Catholic Church to Rome for the traditional conclave that will elect his successor.

Casting a pall over the proceedings is the continued fallout over the child sex abuse scandals that affected a number of dioceses throughout the last decade.

"The church is dealing with a scandal that is verified, verifiable, and all too disturbingly true: the sex abuse scandal, in which several of the cardinals who will be voting on the new pope are implicated themselves, either as abusers or as managers who shielded pedophile priests from the law and covered up for their crimes," according to ABC News.

As the selection process begins in earnest and church officials look forward, officials in Wisconsin are continuing to work through bankruptcy proceedings by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee that began in 2011. As part of the case, former Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan was called in for a court deposition just last week.

Dolan, now a Cardinal and the President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, had to answer questions about his handling of more than 500 allegations of sexual abuse, most of which occurred prior to his becoming archbishop in 2002.

According to Salon, supporters of the alleged victims are pushing to make public the deposition transcripts of Dolan and other Milwaukee church officials.

This case shows yet again the value of accurate deposition transcripts. Given the public's interest in this case, it's in the best interest of all parties involved in the proceedings that experienced Milwaukee court reporters are responsible for documentation.
