MR, ANDERSON: Okay. Let's start the record for purposes of the deposition, and before we begin the actual deposition of the archbishop, there are a few matters that we need to put on the record, The first pertains to the disclosure or, more accurately, the lack of disclosure as we interpret the order of the court. It was our understanding and belief that Judge Van de North ordered the archdiocese to produce the documents and the files that we requested, at least for purposes of Archbishop Nienstedt's deposition, and we did not receive anything until 5:45 p,m, on Monday, When we did, it was formatted, I think, in disk and --

MR. ANDERSON: -- or a zip drive, and contained in that were some materials, but far from what had been requested, far from what had been required, in our view, It was not only thus incomplete, there were redactions and deletions and omissions that we

of the court as we read it and understood it to be. We, then, hustled to try to review what was turned over in preparation for this, and realizing that we had less than what was expected. Yesterday at five p,m., we received a second disclosure with a letter and in it there was a disk in this case with some additional disclosures pertaining to some additional files. We have not had time, nor will we use or attempt to use any of the materials provided at five o'clock last night. There's no way that is feasible or realistic, On quick review of that, however, it may appear that that disclosure continues to be less than complete and not in compliance with the couft order, so it is our position just for this record that the archdiocese is in noncompliance with the orders of the couft as it peftains to the disclosures required to be made for purposes of this deposition. And I think that's all I have to say about that for the moment. MR. HAWS: Well, just to respond, first, we produced all the priest files that

deletions and non-productions and I think the order is clear, but it will speak for itself and we'll take it up another day. Just for purposes of mechanics of today, the court has ordered a deposition to be taken for four hours of the archbishop. I will expect there not to be speaking objections. If you have legal objections, I'm sure you'll state them. If there are speaking objections, I will count that time as not against the four hours. So I will have somebody calculating the time for speaking objections. If you choose to make speaking objections, I just want to aleft you to that. If it at any time you choose to take a break, Archbishop, that's fine. THE WITNESS: Okay. Thank you. MR, ANDERSON: Anything else by way of housekeeping before we proceed? MR, HAWS: (Shakes head). MR, ANDERSON: Okay. Let's begin the deposition. MR, HIBBEN: We are on the record. This is the videotape deposition of Archbishop John Nienstedt taken on April 2nd,2OI4. The

existed and we put the redactions in in 2 accordance with what we had stated we would 3 when we were in front of the court the week 4 before, or last week, whenever that was. 5 We also advised you that this process of producing these files was extremely 6 7 cumbersome and time-consuming and that in our 8 letters we provided additional dates for I depositions of the archbishop if you felt you 10 needed it, and no one contacted us to make any 11 such requests. So we believe that we have 12 complied as best as we possibly can. We've l3 explained the difficulties in getting all of 14 this information to you in the time frame that you had requested, and so we're proceeding by 15 l6 providing you with what we could as best we 17 could and in compliance with the court order. l8 We don't agree with your rendition and, 19 obviously, we'll supplement the record and 20 identify for the court whatever we need to 21 should we get to that point. 22 MR. ANDERSON: I don't expect you to 23 agree with our view today. I do believe, 24 however, that you made those same arguments to 25 the court, I think they were rejected as to

May 2nd, 2OO8. During your tenure as archbishop, it is correct to state that you have made a number
of public statements concerning the fact that
I I
10
Just in the last month, I did discover that there was a priest who had offended who retired, but continued periodically to celebrate mass on weekends, and I was not aware of his presence and I was not aware that
he was publicly in

And who is that?

15
12 A. I believe it's Father LaVan. 13 0. And any other time, other than in the last

month, that causes you to believe that the statements that you had made earlier about the safety of the children and the absence of offenders in the archdiocese ministry to be
corrected?

represented to the public and to the people that there are no offending priests in

ministry here in the Archdiocese of St. Paul

and Minneapolis?

Could you restate the question, please? Have you received any other information that tells you that the statements you made about
the safety of the children in the archdiocese were not true? No. That's it, LaVan?

A. a.
Lavan, yes. And that was last month. How did you get that
information?
14.

I did, yes. He had been previously appointed

by Archbishop Flynn. And was it his job, at least as you understood it, his appointment to be -- to make sure that
the environment was safe and he was the point guy for handling that?

That's correct. And that first meeting, then, was with

McDonough and with the chancellors, both Jennifer Haselberber -- no. She wasn't there then?

-- the point of -- of making that announcement, no. It had been known by the archdiocese that
LaVan had been accused credibly of abusing at least two girls and that was reflected in the

Sister Dominica, I can't think of her last name, but Sister Dominica and Mr. Andy Eisenzimmer. And how long was that meeting, sir? I -- to the best of my recollection, it was approximately two hours, I believe. It was a long meeting. And was that at the Chancery in your office? It was at the Chancery in one of our meeting rooms, yes, sir. And in preparation for that meeting, did you order or request that they review any or all

When you came on as archbishop, did you ever make any effort, from the time of your
materials held by the archdiocese concerning priests who may have been accused, credibly or
otherwise?

installation and to the discovery of the LaVan material by Kinsale, to see actually that the statements you were making to the public about the safety of the children were true?
44.
5 6
of the meeting, I asked give they knew concerning me all that to them the safe environments of the archdiocese.
I asked -- at the time
7A.. I met with my staff and they affirmed for me the fact that there was no one in ministry who I

7Q. I
And did anybody put or record by memo or recording the contents of that meeting?

had credibly abused any children. When did you first meet with your staff to make such a determination that the environment
was safe?
t0
l3
eA.
0.
I don't believe
so.
So it was all verbal?
12
11 A. It was verbal, yes. 12 0. And at that meeting, were you presented with
any written materials?

14
A.
l5

Shortly after my reception into the a rchdiocese as coadjutor' a. What staff did you meet with to determine the safety of the environment and whether or not
there were priests in ministry who had
offended?
14 A. I was not, no. 15 0. Did you know -- you knew there had been a list
l6
17
compiled, under the Charter for the Protection of Children, a list of credibly accused offenders, correct?
l8
1e
20
21
A.
met with my delegate for safe environments and I met with my civil and canonical chancellors.
And so the delegate for safe environments wasf

P-O-M-S,
correct?
I believe,
-- across this nation that we're going to have

a zero tolerance policy, correct?
And you said that was a monitoring program,
64. 7Q.
8
Correct.
And you were a part of -- one of the bishops
r0
12 13 14
that made such a representation to the people in the U.S. about zero tolerance, correct? A. Correct.
So you knew at that time the bishops then commissioned John Jay to do a study to

'11
64. 7Q. I I
A.
Correct.
And did you ask him the names of the priests
that were being monitored under the
POMS
program as McDonough recited this to you?
I -- I had asked for the meeting and he was

chairing the meeting and he began to tell me the people -- the -- the individuals who were under the -- the POMS program.
Who were those individuals?
11 a.
12
determine, based on nformation given them, various lists of credibly accused offenders?
l3
14 0.
15
l6
17
A.
I don't recall exactly when that list was asked for. My recollection was it was in 2004, but I'm not -- I'm not sure about that.
That sounds correct?
r5
A.
I can't recall all the names right now.
18 0, 19 A. 20 a.
21
16 0. Why didn't you write it down? 17 A. It didn't occur to me at the time to do so. 18 a. At the time, didn't it seem like one of the
t9
most important things you needed to do as
archbishop, knowing the crisis in America of Catholic clergy abusing kids, to know who in
20
21
(Nods head). In any case, you knew in

2OO4
or thereabouts
that the bishops had compiled lists of

offenders, credibly accused?
22
22
this archdiocese had been accused and who are currently being monitored?
23 24
25
A.
I did, yes.
Did you ask that such a list for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis be
18
23
0.
24
25
A.
Well,
I had asked for the meetng

20
precisely so
that I would know what the situation was and that I could assure myself and assure my publics (sic) that the environments were safe.
But, Archbishop, you can't remember who that
was that you were told today?
presented to you at this first meeting concerning safe environment in this archdiocese?
2 3
3Q.
4
44. I did not. 5Q. Why not? 64. It ddn't occur to me, 7Q. So, tell me, then, who conducted the meeting? 84. Father McDonough conducted the meeting. eQ. And tell us what Father McDonough told you,
10
11
54.
6 7
8
There were several names that were given to me and I was assured that their stuatons were being monitored and that they were not likely to re-offend and that was the primary purpose of the meetng.
Archbishop, responsive to your request about the safe or lack of safe environment in the
Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and
10 0. And you say "several names." How many? 11 A. I don't recall exactly. There were -- there
12
12
were several.
Well, what does "several" mean? Is that more
t3
14
what priests had been accused and what priests were or were not in ministry.
13 0,
14
than ten or less than ten?

MR, HAWS: Well, objection. You
15
16 17 18
A.
l9
20
Well, he described for me the that we have, which s our montoring system for priests who have abused, and explained to me how that worked and explained the situation of what those prests -- that those priests were not engaged in ministry and -Okay. I'm going to stop you there. I'm sorry
to interrupt you, but you said the POMS
program?

Well, I was told that we have a promoter of these safe environments who meets regularly with the individuals. I was told that they were undergoing regular therapy, that they were in spiritual direction and that they had to sign a contract to the effect of how they would be monitored.

What disclosures did he make?

-- he did not -- as I recall, he did not tell me exactly who he made the disclosures to, but, generally speaking, they were people in the parish that he served.

indicating what we expected of them. I don't believe that it said in those categories' although it was understood that they weren't to offend again.
understand more clearly how the environments that we have in our parishes and our schools would be safe for children and that's our primary objective. o. Archbishop, isn't it correct that you really didn't want the public and the people to know
who was being monitored at that time? MR. HAWS: Well, that's objection,
2t
22
23
that's argumentative, counsel.

And did you have any personal knowledge or

25 a,

You can answer the question, 24
2 3
experience with offenders, clergy or nonclergy, who are accused and who have offended,
2 3
A. I don't believe that's true, no. a. well, then, can you tell me exactly what
offenders that had been monitored or under monitoring were, then, actually disclosed to
4
5 6
that there's a high recidivsm rate and when they do re-offend, they often lie and deny
about it so that you can't rely upon them?
Were you aware of that?
4
5 6 7
7A.. I believe I was, yes.
A. O.
the public as a result of that meeting? I can't answer that, no.

Can you tell me when any of those offenders

I

Well, then, what made you think, then, if you did, that simply monitoring them and asking if
I
9 10
11
who were disclosed to you at that meeting were ever disclosed to the public?
11
12 13
A.
they're re-offending would work? I asked Father McDonough at that meeting to
A. I -- I know that
14 15
tell me what we were doing n terms of making sure that these men were being monitored and that they had a program that we were holding them to.
Did you, as a result of that meeting, disclose

There would be the canoncal chancellor there, the civil chancellor, the moderator and the delegate for safe environments, so that everyone had a complete picture of what was going on. And it was at one of those meetings that this question of the Shelley files came upr and t's my understanding that Father Laird indicated to Jennifer that she should take

Well, Setter, yeah, Setter, S-u-t-t-e-r (ph) -- S-e-t-t-e-r, is an investigator hired by

Who told you that?
10 a.

Correct. And it states, "On June 18th, 2012, the

then it's signed by you.

The question is, is when did you first -- what document is there, if there is one, that can establish the date you learned it?

it? is your signature, so you did

A. I don't know that. O. Has there been made any record by anybody that
you know of, in or out of the archdiocese, that establishes that the report was actually received by you on the 22nd versus Exhibit 18,
which seems to demonstrate the 18th?

right?

Did you order this internal investigation before or after the report to the police was

And that it could have been the 19th or the

Well, my understanding of the sequence of things all revolves around this privileged context, and I -- my understanding was that Father Erickson had suggested, because he didn't feel he could break the confidentiality of the conversation, that she should go to see Greta Sawyer.
Well, the interview done by Greta Sawyer was done at your offices at the Hayden Center?

you received the information and you used both a quote and an "I," don't you?

protecting the children and making sure you adhere to the law. Why did you bring the

You have made and your office has made a

time limitation and the fact that the archbishop began the last segment with a correction to his earlier testimony concerning Shelley, and he began it with a correction by stating that a report, he believed, had been made to law enforcement in 2004, he corrected
number of statements that you have acted immediately to inform the police concerning
20

Wehmeyer. And do you make those statements to try to assure the people that they can trust what you say about child safety and your reporting of it?

had been in law enforcement earlier' That correction changes the questions that we now

At the last paragraph you do state -- it is stated by her, "I shared this information with Father Laird last July," Do you have any memory of having taken any action to report Shelley to law enforcement, to alert the parishioners or the public about the risks now
discerned concerning Shelly's danger to children or use, possible possession of child pornography?

That would be correct, but I don't know that her information was -- was correct here. I'm just looking at this again for -- it's been a long time since I've seen it. Well, let me ask you another question, Under

Okay. I'll show you Exhibit 45.

Yes.
And
I'll direct your attention to 45, which
is

dated February 8th, 2013, it's to you from her. Fifth paragraph down she writes, "I would also like to reiterate that I think all of this information should be turned over to law enforcement for their determination, in hopes of avoiding prosecution for you and your
and what you did resPonsive to it'

Well, Jennifer maintained that the images were those of child pornography and Father McDonough said they were not. And we had the -- at the time the investigation that was done with the retired policeman indicating that these were borderline. And so there was a dispute, obviously, about the nature of these
images.
And Kevin McDonough took the position that 60 percent of the images are created by law enforcement and because he had not been caught, he had not been guilty and he made
I

11
staff by offering an affirmative defense." She wrote that to You, didn't she?
She did.
And then she states, "Finally, I am attaching

a memo written by Father McDonough when he

made a similar assessment of Father Wehmeyer
His conclusion, which Father Laird supported'"
15 0.

In other words, she's saying, "Don't make the same mistake here that you made with Wehmeyer." Is that the way you read this? MR, HAWS: Objection, it's assuming
facts not in evidence. That's not what the memo says.
BY MR. ANDERSON:
that case to you, didn't he?
20 A. I don't recall that at all, no. 21 0. He also claimed that they may have been pop-up

My answer would be, we are prepared to do what we have to do when the Kinsale file review has

1 even more acutely problematic by reason of two 2 things: One, the archbishop's change in testimony that altered the necessity to ask 3 4 questions that otherwise would not have been, 5 in which after a break was taken, the decision 6 was made; two, there have been speaking 7 objections, none of which have been legally 8 based or identified in law as anything other 9 than recitations of belief; and, three -MR, HAWS: You can take the l0 archbishop out. 11 MR. ANDERSON: So I guess counsel is 12 leaving now, we're considering the deposition 13 14 open, They're gone -- and are you prepared to continue, Archbishop? 15 MR. WIESER: ArchbishoP, whY don't 16 you come? 17 MR. HAWS: No. ArchbishoP, You l8 don't have to. We can go. 19 For the record, You had ShelleY 20 the Wehmeyer files beforehand. In files and 21 22 terms of testimony, I believe you've actually gone beyond what the court had authorized you 23 24 to do in the deposition in any event. And the ections were necessitated by your own 25 200 1 conduct. And we'll deal with what we have to 2 with the court. You've preserved your record and we've made ours, so there's no other 3 4 reason to argue about it. MR. ANDERSON: No, We're done. 5
have posed that was legitimate' It was either privileged or, you know, if you want to do 2 form or something like that. All it has been 3 4 is speaking objections and a waste of time. I warned you in advance and I said I'm not going 5 6 to count that on the time. So given that I've had a timekeeper here and according to my 7 I timekeeper -- and your speaking objections 9 took up how much time? MS, ODEGAARD: Two-and-a-half l0 11 minutes. MR, ANDERSON: Two-and-a-half 12 t3 minutes. MR, WIESER: For the record, I've 14 15 been also keeping track and I have less than a half a minute of total time spent on what 16 17 you're referring to as speaking objections. t8 So at this point you're saying there are an additional two minutes left? 19 MS. ODEGAARD: Two-and-a-half 20 minutes left. 21 MR. WIESER: Will You keeP track of 22 23 that, Mr. VideograPher? MR. HAWS: Well, mY sPeaking 24 25 objections, for the record before you oon

The archbishop has g been here to answer whatever questions he can lo as best he can in a proper form, so -MR. WIESER: We're over alreadY. I 11

Your,deiision to apioinf Eather Shelley in this'matter was b.ased on a psychological report condctid'by )ay-MNamara, This rqport.fous on leadership issues in Father Shelley's prevcius,assig4ments, fhefore, the support an< accountability plan was focused on {eveloing iedrhip skilis in Father

ofllS'restricted fles'that wcre archived (ineaning moved to the babement without reference to it beingplacecl in the ersonnel fles) in the early rnonths of 2008. Therefore, when you were making the decisioii to appoint Fa.ther Shelley in 200& neither you nor the staff advising you was aware that additional inJcjrmation existed. We have only recently'discovered' these archived files, I have attached the list of files that were moved to the achives, although we have not been able to locate all of the files on the list'
