The Vatican envoy to the United States quashed an investigation into
alleged homosexual activity on the part of Archbishop John Nienstedt and
ordered a piece of evidence destroyed, according to an 11-page memo
unsealed Wednesday afternoon.
In the memo, Fr. Dan Griffith, then-Delegate for Safe Environment for the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese, stated that in April 2014 Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, apostolic nuncio to the U.S., ordered two auxiliary bishops to have a St. Paul law firm quickly wrap its investigation and later that month instructed them to destroy a letter they had sent Vigano pushing back on his request.
