The Milwaukee archdiocese has put forth what it hopes is the final
settlement plan that will end the church's nearly 5-year-old bankruptcy
case, but victims of childhood sex abuse who filed claims against the
archdiocese said they are stunned by the latest proposal. They allege
that the $21 million allocated to victims is much smaller than that
awarded in other bankruptcies and that it pits victim against victim.
Only sketchy details of the plan have been released in early August. The full plan is to be filed with the bankruptcy court by Aug. 24. The claimants will vote on the plan by Nov. 6 and a court hearing for its approval is set for Nov. 9.
