Great news on Bishop Finn and justice

Breaking news today tells that the Federal Judge in the Bishop Finn case here in town is going forward: Judge refuses to drop charges against U.S. Catholic bishop (Reuters) - A Catholic bishop in Kansas City must stand trial on charges that he failed to report a priest found with pornographic pictures of young girls on his church computer to police, a judge said on Thursday. Bishop Robert Finn, head of the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, faces one misdemeanor charge that he failed to tell authorities that church officials had found disturbing pictures of unclothed little girls that appeared to have been taken by a popular local priest, Father Shawn Ratigan. His trial is set to start September 24." And that's good news, for sure. The right thing needs to happen here and this is the beginning of that.

Could it be possible KC-St Joe Bishop Finn will not get away with blaming the vicar general instead of himself and could it be possible the Philly vicar general Lynn will not get away with blaming the dead bishop instead of himself?

Victims, your voices are strong and powerful, and you are being hear.
ALL who enable and empower child predators to abuse more kids, by covering up their sex crimes, need to be held accountable by the law of the land. This is the only way to get this horrific abuse stopped and to protect our kids today.
