Pope accepts resignation of bishop tied to abuse case
Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City-St Joseph after his 2012 guilty plea for failing to report suspected abuse. Finn led the Missouri diocese for about a decade and faced calls to resign as victims urged accountability for bishops who cover up misconduct. Archbishop Joseph Naumann will lead the diocese until a successor is named.
