KANSAS CITY — “I implore the government not to take away our shepherd from us,” said Theresa Lynn, a member of Justice for Bishop Finn.
This is a common message from those in support of Bishop Robert Finn.
The rally is part of Justice for Bishop Finn’s goal of trying to prove Bishop Robert Finn’s innocence. The organization is speaking out to government officials.
Bishop Robert Finn of the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese is the highest ranking Catholic official to be held accountable for alleged misconduct.
He is charged with failing to report child abuse in Jackson County after Father Shawn Ratigan was arrested on charges of child pornography. Finn also worked out a deal with prosecutors in Clay County to avoid an indictment.
