Catholic League Appeals for Evidence To Clear Archbishop Nienstedt of Minneapolis Accused of Grabbing a Boy’s Ass at Confirmation

I must say the police are actually investigating possible child abuse and by Archbishop Nienstedt of all people. 

Doctor Bill at Catholic League is looking for evidence to clear Nienstedt, to turn it over to authorities or destroy it if not helpful?

Catholic League:

Now—out of the blue—comes an unidentified male who claims he was touched on his buttocks in 2009 by the archbishop while posing for a group photo. Nienstedt denies the charge, adding that he has never inappropriately touched anyone. Moreover, he has not been told the identity of his accuser.

The Catholic League is asking those who were there to share with us any information they have. Specifically, we are interested in obtaining a tape recording, or set of photos, of any Confirmation ceremony in 2009 where Archbishop Nienstedt was present; presumably, the alleged victim was standing next to the archbishop. Also, we are asking anyone who knows anything about the accuser (someone knows who he is) to come forward.  Please email us at pr@catholicleague.org.

Twin Cities Archbishop John Nienstedt, already under fire for failing to take action against priests suspected of abuse, announced Tuesday (Dec. 17) that he is stepping aside temporarily after a minor accused the outspoken archbishop of touching his buttocks during a group photo after a 2009 confirmation ceremony. 

In what he called “a difficult letter for me to write,” Nienstedt says he learned of the allegation during the weekend. He said he does not know the young man and he presumes his accuser to be “sincere in believing what he claims.” 

But he rejected the charge as “absolutely and entirely false.”

Marriage is like a pair of shoes. There is a left shoe. There is a right shoe. There is no male shoe. There is no female shoe.  There is just a pair of shoes called marriage.

Paul in Galatians 3:28 has already re-defined marriage.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Chill. Relax. Get a sex life. 

Confirm good honest people who do not lie and who shine in the light of Christ. Amen.

Into a Mirror, Darkly - Archbishop Cordileone - San Francisco

1 Corinthians 13:1-13

If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,

but have not love,

I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.

And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,

and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,

but have not love, I am nothing.

And if I dole out all my goods, and

if I deliver my body that I may boast

but have not love, nothing I am profited.

Love is long suffering,

love is kind,

it is not jealous,

love does not boast,

it is not inflated.

It is not discourteous,

it is not selfish,

it is not irritable,

it does not enumerate the evil.

It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth 

It covers all things,

it has faith for all things,

it hopes in all things,

it endures in all things.

Love never falls in ruins;

but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or

tongues, they will cease; or

knowledge, it will be superseded.

For we know in part and we prophecy in part.

But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded. 

When I was an infant,

I spoke as an infant,

I reckoned as an infant;

when I became [an adult],

I abolished the things of the infant.

For now we see through a mirror, darkly, but then face to face.

Now I know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known.

But now remains

 faith, hope, love,

these three;

but the greatest of these is love.
