VATICAN CITY

A US Catholic bishop has resigned after he failed to alert authorities after child abuse images were found on a priest’s computer three years ago.
Robert W Finn, 62, of Kansas City was the only Catholic bishop to be convicted for not reporting suspicion of child abuse.
Groups representing victims of abuse by clerics had been urging Pope France to dismiss him.
Finn was the subject of a Vatican investigation that started last September into his leadership of the diocese of Kansas City-St Joseph, Missouri.
