A Minnesota archdiocese and prosecutors both made conciliatory
statements Thursday after an initial hearing on criminal charges against
the Church over its handling of an abusive priest, and the judge said
she understood the two were engaged in talks.
The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis didn’t enter a plea or send any leaders to appear at the brief hearing. Ramsey County Chief Judge Teresa Warner told Assistant County Attorney Tom Ring and archdiocese defense attorney Joe Dixon that she understood that discussions or negotiations were continuing, but gave no details. She scheduled the next court date for Nov. 30.
