MISSION, Kan. — For Peter Saunders of London it hits close to home. He’s an abuse survivor and sits on the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors.
Saunders told a British newspaper, if someone like Finn isn’t removed immediately, the panel would be a pointless exercise.
Finn was convicted in 2012 of failing to report suspected child abuse.
Bill Tammeus writes for the “Faith Matters” blog and the National Catholic Reporter. He tells KMBZ that Saunders’s statement could carry some weight.
“You get a little cautious about what’s actually gonna happen,” Tammeus said. “I think pressure is building and I hope it results in his removal soon.”
