BROOKFIELD, Wis. —Milwaukee’s archbishop delivered a mass of atonement Monday night at St. John Vianney, focusing on the victims of clergy sex abuse.

This was the first time Archbishop Jerome Listecki has spoken on removing the Rev. Bob Marsicek from his duties last month.

Listecki delivered his fourth Mass of atonement recognizing the church needs to bring reconciliation for priest sex abuse. He said the church’s change in policy is working.

“There is no one operating in the archdiocese today with a substantiated allegation of child sex abuse. There just isn’t,” Listecki said.
