US Bishop Charged For Not Reporting Priest's Child Porn To Police

PolygamousRanchKid writes "Kansas City's Catholic bishop was charged Friday with not telling police about child pornography found on a priest's computer, making him the highest-ranking U.S. Catholic official indicted on a charge of failing to protect children. Finn has acknowledged that he and other diocese officials knew for months about hundreds of 'disturbing' images of children that were discovered on a priest's computer but did not report the matter to authorities or turn over the computer."

    Anyone who doesn't instantly turn in pedos to the cops supports their perversion.

    The Catholic Church has demonstrated by paying out more than a billion dollars worldwide in ongoing scandals that it is nothing more than a pedo cult.

    The Pedo Church has paid over ONE BILLION dollars worldwide to its victims in settlement money/damage control.

    How dare you or any modern man defend superstition, let alone Catholicism? Even the Irish are getting fed up:

    A better question is "why does a tech forum whose members should be educated enough to despise superstition have superstitionists posting?"

    If you support Catholicism you support pedophilia. Kill yourself.

    ...a matter of gross institutional rot...

    ...church management still seems to be fighting their medieval battle to assert that their club's rules trump civil law...

    If only it were so benign. It's actually a case of sabotage and infiltration of the Church by Satanists and Freemasons. Organizations such as The Catholic League that downplay the problem and blame the media unwittingly do a disservice to the Church. The Church will heal only once it acknowledges the depth, magnitude, and cause of the problem and a Pope is elected who has been outside the problem from the start and cleans house by excommunicating the guilty bishops, and the remaining or newly ordained bishops reform the seminaries.
