KANSAS CITY – A handful of victims of sexual abuse from several churches around Kansas City met on Tuesday to express relief and hope after hearing about Bishop Robert Finn’s resignation .
However, some want more clarity to how and why Finn left.
“I want him to be asked to resign; I want full accountability,” said Theresa White, who was sexually abused by a priest when she was 17. “I don’t want partial accountability. I don’t want any more smoking mirrors with the church and to own up to the responsibilities to protect children. I want them to be held fully accountable, not partly accountable, and if he’s asked to resign because of this, I think the Pope needs to make it clear that that’s why he was asked to resign.”
