The archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis resigned Monday, 10 days after prosecutors charged the Catholic diocese with mishandling repeated complaints about priest sexual abuse.
Archbishop John Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee Piche were not charged individually in the case and said they were stepping down to remove distractions from the archdiocese as it faces a crisis.
