Bishop Listecki to preside at Mass of Atonement

Milwaukee Catholic Archbishop Jerome Listecki will prostrate himself before the altar at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church on Thursday in a special Mass of Atonement meant to acknowledge the church's sins in the handling of the clergy sex abuse crisis and steps it has taken to reform.

Although all Catholics are welcome, the archdiocese specifically invited sex abuse victims in its announcement. It is unclear how the archdiocese's bankruptcy, in which it has taken steps that would block large numbers of victim's claims, would affect that turnout.

THIS is a good move.
