An advocacy group for clergy abuse victims is raising concerns about the appointment of a retired bishop to a chaplain’s post in the Lincoln Diocese.
Bishop Robert Finn, convicted in Missouri of not reporting suspected child abuse, has become chaplain at the School Sisters of Christ the King convent in Lincoln.
David Clohessy, executive director of the national organization Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, said it is wrong for Finn to be serving in any ministry position.
“In any church job, Finn may well again have the chance to report or conceal child sex crimes and repeat his offense,” Clohessy said. “Why take the risk?”
