MILWAUKEE-Online documents show that back in 2007 Dolan asked for and received permission from the Vatican to move 57 million dollars into a trust fund.
The chief of staff for current Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki said the money mentioned was always set aside in a separate fund for cemetery care and moving it to a trust just formalized the that.
Dolan, who is president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the nation’s most prominent Roman Catholic official, has not been accused of transferring problem priests, after taking over control of the Milwaukee church in 2002 at that point many victims had already gone public.
Back in 2003 roughly a year after becoming leader of the Milwaukee church Dolan warned then Cardinal Ratzinger back who would later become pope..
“as victims organize and become more public, the potential for true scandal is very real.”
