When allegations of a sex-abuse coverup began to leak out of the
Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis a couple years ago, they were
always accompanied by another, seemingly unrelated set of accusations:
the bumbling attempts of Archbishop John Nienstedt, then the leader of
the archdiocese, to have sex with men.
“The archbishop has been known to go ‘cruising’ (and I am not referring to the type of cruising one does on a ship in the Caribbean) and, on one occasion, purchased ‘poppers’ (and not the exploding candy preferred by elementary school students) and followed another gentleman to his car for, well, the type of activity that men purchase ‘poppers’ for…,” wrote Jennifer Haselberger, the whistleblower whose allegations prompted Nienstedt’s resignation last summer. On her website, Haselberger helpfully links to Wikipedia’s entry on poppers: basically disco-era sex drugs.
