At some point someone has to put an end to this … In Commonweal, Grant Gallico reports, “Archbishop John Nienstedt of St. Paul and Minneapolis is being investigated for ‘multiple allegations’ of inappropriate sexual conduct with seminarians, priests, and other men, according to the archbishop’s former top canon lawyer, Jennifer Haselberger. The investigation is being conducted by a law firm hired by the archdiocese. Nienstedt denies the allegations. The investigation was spurred by information the archdiocese received late last year, according to another person with knowledge of the investigation.” MPR has a story on the investigation as well.
