Church officials in Minnesota say they are not planning to investigate one of the priests named in a Facebook note a Kentucky man posted before he shot himself to death in a church parking lot.

Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis spokesman Dennis McGrath told The Messenger-Inquirer there was no justification for an investigation into the Rev. William Baer, former rector of St. John Vianney College Seminary at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, where David M. Jarboe had once been a student.

The 23-year-old Jarboe shot himself in the parking lot of Blessed Mother Catholic Church in Owensboro on Feb. 3.

His Facebook posting mentioned Baer and two other priests, as well as pain as a result of sexual abuse in the church.
