Papa Francis on Tuesday accepted the enforced resignation of Kansas City bishop Robert W.Finn, the first US bishop to be convicted of failing to alert federal authorities about a priest suspected of child sex abuse.
The bishop's removal comes after a Vatican probe into the case of Father Shawn Rattigan, who was eventually sentenced to 50 years in jail for possession of child pornography he obtained through church contacts.
