The Vatican is investigating Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City, Missouri, two years after he was convicted of failing to report suspected abuse.
A Finn spokesman says the bishop was notified of the investigation by the papal ambassador in Washington.
The National Catholic Reporter was first to report the inquiry which is being conducted by the Vatican’s Congregation for Bishops.
Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa visited the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph last week as part of the investigation. His spokeswoman said Monday only that the visit was private.
