A federal judge may approve a tentative bankruptcy settlement Monday between the Milwaukee Catholic Archdiocese and its creditors — including hundreds of clergy abuse victims.

The archdiocese announced the tentative $21 million settlement this August, after having reached the agreement with a committee of creditors through the help of a private mediator earlier in the summer.

Peter Isely of the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests said he worries important parts of the bankruptcy case may never be fully explored. He said questions remain about the amount of money being paid to the church's lawyers and about former Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan moving tens of millions of dollars into a cemetery trust fund.

"It is not going to restore or result in a kind of trust or restoration of the church's credibility concerning this issue," said Dolan.

Current Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki said in August that the proposed settlement "turns the page on a terrible part of the church's history."
