| Minnesota Catholic Bishop Named in Lawsuit Alleging Coercion, Hiding Sex Abuse |  | A lawsuit filed on Tuesday accuses a Catholic bishop from Minnesota of conspiring to keep an aspiring deacon from alerting officials about sex abuse by a senior church member nearly 50 years ago. According to the complaint, the bishop threatened the plaintiff's attempt to become a deacon and his son's future as a priest in order to keep the abuse allegations quiet. The suit was filed in Polk County Court in Crookston and is reportedly the first time a U.S. bishop has been individually targeted in a lawsuit alleging coercion. The Diocese of Crookston, which has also been named as defendant in the lawsuit, along with the bishop, has denied the lawsuit's claims.
