Priests and laity in the diocese have described Nienstedt as a "top-down micromanager," "a scolder" and someone who seems at times "to enjoy being mean." On the other hand, defenders of the bishop cite his energy, his skill as a speaker, the fact that he has visited all 82 parishes in the diocese, his commitment to pastoral administrators in more than 20 parishes, and his efforts to handle the priest shortage (there are 44 priests currently active).
