Their public radio station, (MPR) did an investigation following a disclosure of one of that diocese's Canon lawyers, (a lady), who was a whistle-blower. The Vicar of the diocese just resigned, and people are calling for an investigation of the archbishop, for covering up known child porn she said she saw, and tried to report, found on a priest's computer.
More info comes out.

Quote: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Attorneys for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis were seeking to put out a fire, not start a new one, when they asked a judge this month to keep private a list of Roman Catholic clergy believed to have molested children.
The court proceeding produced no definitive ruling on whether that document would be released, as victims are seeking, but it did reveal new details that intensified the crisis.
A judge entered into the public record a police report church attorneys had cited about a priest's cache of porn kept in church archives for eight years, unleashing a cascade of new revelations about how the archdiocese responded when confronted with allegations of sexual misconduct.
In the days leading up to the Oct. 3 hearing, church officials already were fending off a canon lawyer who quit the archdiocese and was now accusing administrators of ignoring warnings in the last several years about at least two priests.
