Former Archbishop John
Nienstedt said he remains “dumbfounded” by the allegations of personal
misconduct that emerged last year during an internal church
investigation of his behavior — a report that the archdiocese now is
considering making public.
“It
pains me deeply that my good name and reputation have been put into
question by allegations that are entirely false and based wholly on
rumor, hearsay, or innuendo,” said Nienstedt last week, in written
responses to questions from the Star Tribune.
