Archbishop Dolan Places Monitoring Program on Hold

MILWAUKEE (CNS) -- After the priests of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee received information about two new programs intended to support and monitor clergy involved in misconduct or those who suffer from addictions, Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan said he has suspended the programs indefinitely because of negative reaction from his priests.

"Whatever the intention was, the process was completely ill-advised and I bear the blame. A good chunk of priests whose trust I cherish are angry and I'm kicking myself for allowing it to happen," the archbishop said. "Now that it's backfired, I have so many regrets."
