The New York Times is reporting on a group of Roman Catholics in Kansas City that are calling on Pope Francis to discipline Bishop Robert W. Finn. As NYT reporter Laurie Goodstein explains, Finn was convicted of failing to report a pedophile priest in 2012.

Apparently, the Catholic Church still has no policy about what to do about bishops who fail to report suspected abuse to civil authorities.

Finn knew that Rev. Shawn Ratigan kept hundreds of pornographic pictures of young girls – some toddler age -- on his laptop, yet failed to let authorities know. While Finn was only given a two-year probation, Ratigan was sentenced to 50 years in prison.

According to the article, more than 113,000 people are asking for Finn's removal.

Interestingly, the story points out a group I had not heard of before: Catholic Whistleblowers.
