Federal Bankruptcy Judge Susan Kelley said the parishes will not put all of their assets at risk, as she decides how much the Milwaukee Archdiocese must pay to sex abuse victims and other creditors in its nearly two-year-old bankruptcy case.
Kelley ruled that the parishes are their own legal entities – but they’re not out of the woods just yet.

The creditors say the archdiocese committed fraud by taking the money off its books
