FILE - In this Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013, file photo, Archbishop John Nienstedt talks to the media at Our Lady of Grace Church in Edina, Minn. A task force commissioned by the archdiocese reported Monday, April 14, 2014, that there have been serious shortcomings in how the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has handled allegations of sexual abuse by priests because too much decision-making power was given to one or two people who weren't subject to adequate oversight. Nienstedt has pledged to accept the recommendations of a task force recommending forming a single clergy-review board with a majority of laypeople to review all allegations of clergy misconduct.
