The Roman Catholic
Diocese of Burlington returns to court this week for another trial focusing on
its handling of a priest who allegedly molested altar boys.
A high-ranking
former Diocese of Burlington official says the Diocese didn’t fully look into
the background of a priest who allegedly went on to molest boys in Vermont — even though the church was warned by the priest’s
former bishop.
Reverend John
McSweeney took the stand yesterday in Chittenden County Superior Court.
The Roman Catholic
Diocese of Burlington, which still faces two dozen lawsuits alleging sexual
misconduct by priests, will see the next one come to trial May 5th.
