Stoking much of the anger is the fact that only three years ago, Bishop Finn settled lawsuits with 47 plaintiffs in sexual abuse cases for $10 million and agreed to a long list of preventive measures, among them to report anyone suspected of being a pedophile immediately to law enforcement authorities.
It seems that this was part of a previous court order.
Great point- not like this is a new issue for the Cardinals and the Diocese’s ( whatever plural of that is).
