Archbishop Nienstedt Refuses to Resign

Edit:  But he caves in a bit. This was on Blog for Dallas Area Catholics recently.  It hasn't gotten much coverage.  What's gotten even less coverage, is the Modernist Monastery which has probably more unsupervised sexual predators per square foot than any place in the world.

One of the Archbishop's chief persecutors,  is a priest who probably knows some sexual predators himself, considering his advocacy for and closeness to the Gomorrhist community.   He graduated from St. John's University in Collegeville and shares their ethos.

Maybe he knows where Josh Guimond is?
“Embattled” Saint Paul-Minneapolis Archbishop Nienstedt has issued a statement declaring in spite of all the accusations directed against him, he will not resign.  While there may have been some failures of prudential judgment – or maybe not – I have not seen any real evidence of a concerted effort to keep abusive priests in circulation or to expose minors to dangerous predators. Archbishop seems to admit to some minor failures of oversight, but completely rejects all the false allegations directed at himself, and also notes that he has been faced with such allegations every since he arrived in St. Paul-Minneapolis 7 years ago.  He is a (relatively, by today’s standards) orthodox prelate who was sent to help clean up a radically heterodox diocese bereft of real leadership for decades and rapidly spinning out of control. He has had many enemies since the get-go and I have been just about fully convinced that the allegations about any personal moral failings on his part have been completely false. 
Having said that, I do sense a bit of surrender in this statement and that is unfortunate.

'...probably has more unsupervised sexual predators per square foot...' Not only is this a spectacular case of Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur but it's infantile and cowardly attack on fellow Christians without proof is a disgrace. This kind of unChrist-like invective is a defeat for Christ, His Gospel and His Church.

You might make a hurried exit from your glass house if you've got one.

Facts are very persistent things.

Signs. Why doesn't God the Father give signs anymore? Why is this place not struck with lightning and burnt to the ground or swallowed up in an earthquake or something?

Perhaps Pope Francis could send a 'commissar' into Collegeville and investigate them as the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate are being investigated? Why not? Perhaps these clerics at Collegeville know too much dirt on the Catholic Church?

Collegeville is dying even if no one in management is concerned about what damage they cause before they do everyone a favor and disappear.

As a native Minnesota I am ashamed of that depraved university. We must pray for Archbishop Nienstadt.
