Church asks judge to loosen requirements for disclosing priest abuse allegations

Approaching courtroom
Thomas Wieser and Jennifer Larimore, attorneys with the Meier, Kennedy & Quinn law firm, approach a Ramsey County District courtroom Dec. 2, 2013, for a hearing that led to Judge John Van de North's order that the church release the names of priests who had been accused of sexually abusing children. The archdiocese is scheduled to be back in Van de North's courtroom on Friday to request that the judge modify his Dec. 2 order.
