Kansas City Bishop Makes Deal To Avoid Charges

Robert W. Finn, bishop of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, has made a deal with authorities to avoid a second round of criminal charges in response to an indictment of failure to report a priest accused of taking pornographic pictures of girls. Finn will “meet monthly with a county prosecutor to detail every suspicious episode involving abuse of a child in his diocese for the next five years,” The New York Times reports.
