The disturbing new revelations about Cardinal Dolan raise a troubling question: What other secret deals and ‘incentives’ did and does he offer to pedophile priests?” asked David Clohessy, executive director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests.
Clohessy’s allegation came after disclosures this week that while serving as Milwaukee archbishop in 2003, Dolan agreed to pay accused pedophile priests $20,000 in exchange for their agreeing to leave the priesthood.
In 2006, Dolan had strongly denied a victims-advocate’s claim that pedophile priest Franklyn Becker was paid $10,000 in exchange for his voluntary laicization, telling the Milwaukee Sentinel:
“For anyone to assert that this money was a ‘payoff’ or occurred in exchange for Becker agreeing to leave the priesthood is completely false, preposterous and unjust.
“What this was, instead, was an act of charity, in line with Catholic social teaching.”
