EDINA, Minn. (AP) — Archbishop John Nienstedt says Catholic bishops have failed in their response to the clergy-abuse crisis.
A Minneapolis Public Radio report (http://bit.ly/19Kbav9 ) says the comments are part of prepared remarks Nienstedt is scheduled to give during a Sunday homily in Edina.
The comments come a few weeks the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis released a list of abusive priests in response to a court order. The list named 34 priests accused of sexually abusing minors.
Nienstedt is expected to apologize to parishioners “for the indignation that you justifiably feel. You deserve better.”
