Continue reading …The case of Robert Finn, a Catholic bishop who has been charged with covering up suspected child abuse, is the first of its kind in America A bishop has become the highest-ranking US 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. Bishop Robert Finn, the first US 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. “Now that the grand jury investigation has resulted in this indictment, my office will pursue this case vigorously,” Baker said. “I want to ensure there are no future failures to report resulting in other unsuspecting victims.” The indictment, handed down 6 October but sealed because Finn was out of the country, says the bishop failed to report suspicions against the priest from 16 December, 2010, when the photos were discovered, to 11 May, 2011, when the diocese turned them over to police. Finn denied any wrongdoing in a statement on Friday and said he had begun work to overhaul the diocese’s reporting policies and act on key findings of a diocese-commissioned investigation into its practices. “Today, the Jackson County Prosecutor issued these charges against me personally and against the Diocese of Kansas City-St Joseph,” said Finn. “For our part, we will meet these announcements with a steady resolve and a vigorous defence.” Finn faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted of the misdemeanour. The diocese also faces a $1,000 fine. After the Catholic sex abuse scandal erupted in 2002, grand juries in several regions reviewed how bishops handled claims against priests. However, most of the allegations were decades old and far beyond the statute of limitations. Until Finn was indicted, no US Catholic bishop had been criminally charged over how he responded to abuse claims, although some bishops had struck deals with local authorities to avoid prosecution against their dioceses. A former secretary for clergy in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Monsignor William Lynn, was charged in February with child endangerment. A grand jury had released a report accusing the archdiocese of keeping some credibly accused clergy in church jobs where they had access to children. Lynn has pleaded not guilty. The grand jury report in Philadelphia and the case in Kansas City have raised questions about how closely other dioceses are following the national discipline policy the US bishops adopted in 2002. Church leaders had promised to remove all credibly accused clergy from church work. United States Religion Catholicism guardian.co.uk

Wales 3-0 France. A delicious kick by James Hook, from tight on the left touchline by the 22. He sets the ball slightly out right, curling it back in between the sticks. That never looked like missing, and will hopefully settle his nerves. If he has any, because that was ice cool. 7 min: Dusautoir is offside as both teams scrabble for the ball down the left after a clever chip down the left by Hook. That’s a penalty within kicking range. “Good morning from Wales,” begins Dr Alimantado. Morning. “The Smiths’ ‘A Rush and a Push and the Land is Ours’ seems most appropriate. I’m not sure how to feel today. Wales good at sports is unpossible.” 4 min: Servat breaks down the left, making up plenty of ground. He’s upended, but Yachvili finds touch down by the Welsh 22. Warburton ensures the French can’t build on the field position by clearing upfield. Nothing quite coming off for either side yet. 2 min: Wales win their lineout just outside the French 22, but soon enough Toby Faletau knocks on. Then the Welsh pack goes south in the scrum, and the early pressure is off the French. And we’re off! The first World Cup semi-final is ON, and Wales are 80 minutes away from their first World Cup final! The rain has stopped, and Wales lump the ball straight downfield. Dimitri Yachvili, with his dodgy leg, hacks out down the left. He doesn’t get much distance on the kick, giving Wales good field position right from the off. “I saw a highlights package of the 1987 RWC recently,” begins Gary Naylor unsurprisingly, “and England’s quarter final appeared to be played in a Brisbane public park. Conversions were landing amongst picnickers.” The teams are out. The Mulligan and O’Hare tribute act parps his horn. Then the anthems. First, La Marseillaise . And then the Welsh one the Welsh one . The weather in Auckland: It is tipping down . Handling errors ahoy! Let’s hope it doesn’t get too tempestuous, or this’ll end up looking like England versus Scotland. Redressing the balance re Huw Richards: “Come now, we all know Huw was sent off for trying to use Gary Whetton as a punching bag,” writes our Kiwi pal Sean Carless. “Buck merely put a stop to the nonsense with a wee lovetap.” Venue: The 60,000 capacity Eden Park in Auckland. Kick off: 9am BST. Referee: Alain Rolland (Ireland) France: Medard, Clerc, Rougerie, Mermoz, Palisson, Parra, Yachvili, Poux, Servat, Mas, Pape, Nallet, Dusautoir, Bonnaire, Harinordoquy. Replacements: Szarzewski, Barcella, Pierre, Ouedraogo, Trinh-Duc, Doussain, Heymans. Wales: Halfpenny, North, J. Davies, Roberts, S. Williams, Hook, Phillips, Jenkins, Bennett, A. Jones, Charteris, A. Jones, Lydiate, Warburton, Faletau. Replacements: Burns, James, B. Davies, R. Jones, L. Williams, S. Jones, S. Williams. One thing is certain: this is massive . And we’ll be hearing the best two national anthems in the tournament today. That’s two things, isn’t it. Three if you’re counting each anthem. Wales made the semis of the World Cup that year, having seen off England 16-3 in the quarter-finals, a match worth watching again simply for the appalling kicking on display, a ludicrous number of attempts on goal being shanked straight out of play down the wings. They were trounced 49-6 by the hosts and eventual winners New Zealand – Huw Richards was sent off for being clapped around the jaw by Wayne Shelford – but won the third-placed play-off against Australia 22-21. It remains their best performance in a World Cup. But the 24-year wait is over: they’re in the semis again, and today have the chance to go one better. 1987 was a hell of a long time ago. Ronald Reagan was president of the USA. Everton were the football champions of England. The Smiths split up. And if all that doesn’t make you feel so very old, or smugly young, this is the killer: you’d still have to wait another two years to watch the original transmission of the Only Fools and Horses episode where Del falls through the bar .
