KANSAS CITY, Mo. —A group of Catholics is calling on Pope Francis to take action against Kansas City Bishop Robert Finn.

A priest, nun and local parishioners have filed a formal request with the church to suspend Finn.

In 2012, Finn was convicted of a misdemeanor charge of failing to report a priest who was involved in child pornography. He remains the bishop in the Kansas City and St. Joseph diocese.

The complaint said Finn’s actions also broke church laws.
