First Ever Catholic Bishop Indicted in Sex Abuse Case

First Ever Catholic Bishop Indicted in Sex Abuse CaseA Kansas City grand jury has indicted Robert Finn (pictured, at right), the city's Roman Catholic bishop, for failing to report suspected sexual abuse of a child by a priest in his district. "The indictment is the first ever of a Catholic bishop in the 25 years since the scandal over sexual abuse by priests first became public in the United States." Well, I guess we can put that behind us.
