Bishop Finn had FOUR highly paid attorneys that got the charges lessened. Here is what we know:
1) Finn hid a known pedophile for over a year after he got a memo from a school principal about Ratigan
2) Finn refused to report a computer full of child porn to the actual police (although he told a police friend of his about one porn picture over the phone)
3) Finn concealed evidence in a felony case. Finn gave a computer full of Ratigan's porn back to Ratigan's family instead of giving the evidence to the police.
4) Finn allowed the pedophile around children for months, even after He sent Ratigan to a Catholic pedophile specialist for counseling
However, FOUR high priced attorneys had the charges dropped to a misdemeanor, and Catholics don't mind paying for that type of concealment for their pedophile protectors.
The Catholic church may be the most dangerous place on earth for children.
Parents - keep your children away from Catholic priests.
When Bishop Finn is thrown in jail, the mafia will try to recruit him. Nobody covers up for the bad guys better than this guy.
It will be interesting to read what Bishop Finn said in his grand jury testimony, as he was surrounded by his FOUR lawyers, undoubtedly paid for by parishioner contributions.
It's interesting that Catholics believe that Jesus would have needed four highly paid lawyers to help him tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and some day, we'll get to see how close Bishop Finn and his four lawyers came to telling the simple truth.
Let's hope they put him in jail ASAP, and let's hope the FBI goes into his archdiocese to find the other pedophile priests he is hiding.
Really? You thought Ratigan was the only pedophile priest he is hiding?
By the way, Catholics, how do you feel about your pedophile protector being accompanied by FOUR attorneys according to this article. He hid pedophiles and allowed them near your children. Now he is taking your money to get FOUR attorneys to tell him how he can avoid telling the truth after he swears on a bible that he will tell the truth. Proud day for Kansas City Catholics.

At least they weren't raping children, watching child porn, or creating child porn, which makes them better than tens of thousands of priests worldwide.
