The Minnesota prosecutor who brought criminal charges against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis says the archbishop’s resignation won’t stop his investigation.

Ramsey County Attorney John Choi says his goal is to hold the archdiocese accountable for actions that he says didn’t protect children.

Choi says Archbishop John Nienstedt’s resignation doesn’t directly accomplish that goal, although he calls it a good step toward a new beginning.
