The plan of reorganization proposed by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee in the organization's chapter 11 proceedings is the best way to provide care for abuse survivors, while ensuring the archdiocese can continue its spiritual, educational and charitable mission, according to a commentary today in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The reorganization plan is fair for abuse survivors because, first and foremost, it provides therapy for as long as they need it and, second, it provides those with eligible claims a financial settlement, according to the commentary. In the last 10 years alone, according to the commentary, the archdiocese has exhausted its resources, properties and investments to provide more than $33 million in settlements with abuse survivors.
