Bishop Finn of Kansas City has presumably entered into a plea bargain in Clay County Missouri, the county where Father Ratigan lives, works and plays.
Bishop Finn will meet once a month with Prosecuting Attorney Daniel White to discuss any and all things related to Child Abuse and Child Endangerment for a period of five years.
Sounds a bit like Probation and meeting with your probation officer. Whatever.
One question. If Bishop Finn resigns, as all decent Catholics in Kansas City / St. Joseph Missouri want him to, in order to protect their children, does he still have to report to Dan White? Or does Bishop Finn have to stay in a religious appointment because of the say so of the secular civil authority?
Come again?
I thought there was a separation of Church and State in this Country. An established accepted taboo not unlike the taboo against incest.
This prosecutor has in effect locked job security into the legal equation for Bishop Finn for five more years, long suffering years for the good people in his diocese? Tell me I am wrong.
Or, that if Finn resigns tomorrow, Clay County will be satisfied that a dangerous person has left a job in which he has done harm and can continue to do harm to the community – and Probation ends for Bishop Finn? Finn can then leave town?
Where is this written contract between White and Finn for constitutional lawyers to analyze and comment on?
What is Dan White getting out of this sudden incestuous relationship in bed with Bobbie Finn or the RCC? Dan White is signing off on Vatican orders? USCCB? Who does he work for really? Who or what is he protecting? Bishop Finn’s church job?
There is certainly nothing in it for the citizens of Missouri who basically are stuck with an incompetent, uncaring cleric on a five year learning curve regarding a quest for humanity in his job description.
Business as usual in Clay County? Hide your children?
