KC Bishop Charged With Not Alerting Police On Child Porn

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A bishop has become the highest-ranking U.S. Catholic official indicted on a charge of failing to protect children after he and his diocese waited five months to tell police about hundreds of images of child pornography discovered on a priest's computer, officials said Friday.
Bishop Robert Finn, the first U.S. bishop criminally charged with sheltering an abusive clergyman, and the Kansas City-St. Joseph Catholic Diocese have pleaded not guilty on one count each of failing to report suspected child abuse.
Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said Finn and the diocese were required under state law to report the discovery to police because the images gave them reason to believe a child had been abused.

I am not voting for Herman Cain, he lost me when he dropped the race card on Rick Perry.

I am not voting for Rick Perry, he lost me on his weak stance with illegal immigrants.

Substitute "corporation" or "totalitarian regime" for the word "church" and you understand why they think they are above the law. Money is all the care about.
