KANSAS CITY (MO)
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
Posted by David Clohessy on January 18, 2013
For the first time in history, a US Catholic diocese is headed by a convicted criminal. So what’s next for Kansas City Bishop Robert Finn?
He’ll declare bankruptcy in the months ahead. That’s my prediction.
It’s always risky to claim to know what the future holds. But look at the situation in KC.
–More than two dozen civil child sex abuse and cover up lawsuits are pending.
–So too is a suit by almost 50 victims who say Finn broke a 2008 contract with them – in a variety of ways – by continuing to protect predators and endanger kids.
— Some of the pending cases involve recent crimes and other misdeeds regarding Fr. Shawn Ratigan.
