	Group Asks Archdiocese to Withdraw Motions WISN October 6, 2009 http://www.wisn.com/news/21220887/detail.html Church Moving Pedophiles To Other Churches, Advocacy Group Says There is a call for Milwaukee's Archdiocese to drop its fight against fraud cases filed by victims of priest sex abuse. Members of a sex abuse victims group called SNAP delivered a letter to the Archdiocese in St. Francis on Tuesday, asking it to withdraw two legal motions. The motions argue bishops have a First Amendment right to move known pedophile priests from one church to another. "It is unconscionable. We also feel it's an affront to religion to say that it is a bishop's right to do whatever he wants to with somebody who's a priest because he's a priest," said Peter Isely, member of SNAP. The archdiocese released a statement late Tuesday afternoon that said it is involved in a number of pending lawsuits and will allow the court to decide all legal questions until all the lawsuits are resolved.
