text: Danno, please do not think that all Milwaukee Catholics just looked away. I know many of us were disgusted and horrified at the harsh tactics, deception and callous language used during the bankruptcy. There were many, many priests who were equally upset. However, there was little anyone of us could do to stop it. As a lay person, my response was to stop supporting the diocese and speak out for what I believed was right. I also knew from the outset that I was a voice in the wilderness that would be ignored.
  
  Like many large institutional systems, the Church is and entity unto itself and little voices have little to no impact.  I am so sorry you were betrayed and re-victimized by the process.  Be well, Danno. I wish you healing and happiness.
