Bishop Makes Deal to Avoid More Criminal Charges


Church in Kerala has various means to intimidate the media to prevent them from publishing truth about the Church.  Fortunately, there are western media who could not be tamed and they frequently publish the wrong-doings of Catholic Church.  We endeavour to publish such news/reports in Almaya Sabdam.

This is one such story.  (Administrator, Almaya Sabdam)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In a deal to avoid a second round of criminal charges, a Roman Catholic bishop in Kansas City has agreed to meet monthly with a county prosecutor to detail every suspicious episode involving abuse of a child in his diocese for the next five years.

The bishop, Robert W. Finn of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, was indicted in October by a grand jury in Jackson County for failure to report a priest accused of taking pornographic pictures of girls. Bishop Finn is the first American prelate to face indictment on charges of mishandling an abuse case.
