	Our View: Catholic Diocese Shows Surprising Swiftness Duluth News Tribune April 16, 2010 http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/account:login/desturl/event/article/id/165942/ How well is the Catholic Diocese of Superior handling its latest priest scandal? So well that even a past victim of abuse at the hands of a priest is offering his thanks. “We victims of abuse always talk about wanting transparency,” Duluth’s Verne Wagner told the News Tribune this week. “If the bishop did the right thing here, we need to say thank you.” Doing the right thing has included contacting the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office on, the same day the diocese was made aware of allegations that a retired priest had engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with a young adult male. The following day the diocese made a report to social services while also suspending the priest, who still occasionally was helping out at church functions.
