Victims’ attorney Jeff Anderson says legal documents show a “good old-fashioned cover-up” going all the way to the Vatican, involving child sex abuse by former priest Curtis Wehmeyer  — and former  St Paul Archbishop John Nienstedt’s role in that case

 

Anderson says there’s evidence that former Archbishop Nienstedt had a history of sexual interest not only in Wehmeyer but other priests and seminarians as well.  He’s calling on Pope Francis to remove Nienstedt from the priesthood.
