In an unprecedented move, Cardinal Sean O’Malley has called for action against a fellow American bishop convicted of covering up a sexually abusive priest.

“It’s a question the Holy See needs to address urgently … There’s a recognition of that from Pope Francis,” O’Malley tells “60 Minutes” tonight.

O’Malley, considered very close to Pope Francis, stated the church had to address the case of Bishop Robert Finn of the Kansas City-St Joseph Missouri diocese.

O’Malley stated “We’re looking at how the church could have protocols on how to respond when a bishop has not been responsible for the protection of children in his diocese”
