Kansas City Bishop Indicted in Reporting of Abuse by Priest

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Roman Catholic bishop of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Robert Finn, and the diocese he leads have been indicted by a county grand jury on a charge of failure to report suspected child abuse in the case of a priest who had been accused of taking lewd photographs of young girls.

The indictment is the first ever of a Catholic bishop in the 25 years since the scandal over sexual abuse by priests first became public in the United States.

Bishop Finn is accused of covering up abuse that occurred as recently as last year — almost 10 years since the nation’s Catholic bishops passed a charter pledging to report suspected abusers to law enforcement authorities.

The bishop has acknowledged that he knew of the existence of the photos last December but did not turn them over to the police until May.

2. Scumbag criminals...

Are there any words that actually fit the sick, selfish, piece-of-shit Catholic hierarchy that continues to cover up the rape and sexual abuse of innocent children?

I mean seriously...at this point, what is there left to say?

We've seen memos from the Pope himself, ordering these scumbag sick fucks to cover up the sexual abuse of children, in order to protect the church. We
can't be surprised that a lowly bishop would allow young girl victims to suffer in silence--traumatized and emotionally stunted.

Seriously. There's nothing left to say. The entire sick, evil organization needs to be abolished.
