Archbishop speaks on clergy sex abuse
Archbishop Harry Flynn said he and his fellow bishops remain committed to dealing with sexual abuse by clergy.
The head of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis spoke Saturday at a symposium at Sienna College, his alma mater in upstate New York. Flynn said critics are still talking about bishops shuffling priests from parish to parish, but said that is not an accurate or fair characterization of the bishops' actions in the last 10 years.
Flynn also said that no bishop thinks today that a change of assignment is enough to address the illness of a priest who commits sexual abuse.
About 350 people attended the daylong seminar on clergy sexual misconduct and how communities and the church deal with it.
Man gets probation for spreading HIV
A Minnesota man, who faced 25 years in prison for criminal transmission of HIV, has been sentenced to three years probation by an Iowa judge.
Twenty-five-year-old Aaron Dahlberg of Inver Grove Heights was sentenced Friday on a lesser charge that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. Dahlberg didn't admit to the details of the charge but agreed that a jury would probably find him guilty.
He has also been ordered to pay over $1,300 to his victim.
