VATICAN CITY – The embattled
archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis and his deputy resigned Monday
after years of pressure, an indication Pope Francis is making good on
his promise that no one is above the law when it comes to covering up
for clergy who sexually abuse children.
Archbishop John Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee Anthony Piche stepped down after Minnesota prosecutors charged their archdiocese with having failed to protect children from unspeakable harm by a pedophile priest who was later convicted of molesting two boys.
