Amazing. Bishop Robert Finn, Of Kansas City, Missouri, and of this post, has gotton away with his crime of tampering with evidence (he hid the computer containing kiddie porn when police wanted to see it) and openly allowing Father Shawn Ratigan, also of Kansas City, to produce the kiddie porn. Today in court, the state of Missouri decided to put Finn on probation for two years, then to suspend the probation, and to ask him nicely to complete some bullshit programs offered by the state to try to reform and counsel sex offenders. Since Finn is such good friends with Jesus, he does not have to pose for a picture in the National Sex Offender Registry, like others who have committed lesser crimes. Don't these people get it? This type of criminal cannot be rehabilitated. Sex offenders never change!
Meanwhile, a couple in Salem, Oregon, who were noticed by the FBI for their artistic talents in the area of unlawful distribution of child pornography and subsequesntly sought by the FBI, are in jail, after being found by the FBI. They committed a very similar crime to Bishop Robert Finn's crime, but since they do not have the same expense account that Jesus and his church have provided for ministerial offenders, they are in jail. Another tier one offender is Robert Neil Boyd, who only actually got a slap on the wrist for his kiddie porn activities. He is at least mentioned in the National Sex Offender Registry. It seems like it would be even more important for a priest to have a listing in this registry, to warn anyone with children before they visit a church in his or her parish, but, apparently; the Church enjoys taking sex crime victims by surprise.
