Q&A with Coadjutor Archbishop John Nienstedt

Here is the full text of Coadjutor Archbishop John Nienstedt's answers to questions from Star Tribune reporter Pamela Miller.

Q: Do you view yourself as more conservative than Archbishop Flynn?

A: I find it curious that persons both inside and outside the church, who maintain a strict separation of church and state, nevertheless find it necessary to define persons and activities within the church in political terms. Like St. Paul, I come to the archdiocese to "speak of nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified." (1 Corinthians 2:2.). . .

Some still insist on pushing the "political" terminology on the Church....Good answers by the Next Archbishop...
