THE VATICAN IS INVESTIGATING BISHOP FINN
 
The Vatican is investigating Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City, Missouri, two years after he was convicted of failing to report suspected abuse.
Finn was notified of the investigation by the papal ambassador in Washington and has “cooperated with the process,” according to Jack Smith, the bishop’s spokesman.
As part of the inquiry, Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa visited the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph last week and spoke with several people, asking if they considered Finn fit for leadership, according to the National Catholic Reporter. A spokeswoman for Prendergast said Monday she could not comment because the archbishop’s visit was private.
