http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2014/07/02/minnesota-archbishop-who-denounces-homosexuality-now-being-investigated-for-having-sex-with-priests/So guess what an investigation just found? GUESS! (Oh, this is too damn easy )
(Nienstedt) is being investigated for multiple allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct with seminarians, priests, and other men, according to the archbishops former top canon lawyer, Jennifer Haselberger. The investigation is being conducted by a law firm hired by the archdiocese. Nienstedt denies the allegations.
Based on my interview with [Minneapolis law firm] Greene Espel as well as conversations with other interviewees I believe that the investigators have received about ten sworn statements alleging sexual impropriety on the part of the archbishop dating from his time as a priest in the Archdiocese of Detroit, as Bishop of New Ulm, and while coadjutor and archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis, Haselberger told me. Whats more, he also stands accused of retaliating against those who refused his advances or otherwise questioned his conduct.
