Archbishop John Nienstedt, who has donated thousands of dollars to anti-gay causes, is being accused of having sex with other priests.
A Minnesota archbishop who donated over half a million against gay marriage is now under investigation for sexual misconduct with other priests.
John Nienstedt, of St Paul and Minneapolis, is accused of ‘sexual impropriety’ with several adult male priests and seminarians.
The archdiocese has confirmed the investigation, which was first reported by Catholic magazine Commonweal.
The 67-year-old archbishop authorized the internal investigation, which he claims is ‘independent’.
‘The allegations do not involve minors or lay members of the faithful, and they do not implicate any kind of illegal or criminal behavior,’ Nienstedt said.
