Bishop Signs Priest Abuse Settlement
KANSAS CITY, MO. -- A settlement is now official for 47 victims who suffered sexual abuse at the hands of their own priests. The abuse spanned decades in the Kansas City-St. Joseph Diocese of the Catholic Church. All parties agreed on the global settlement earlier this week. But, late Thursday, it became final when Bishop Robert Finn signed it. It's been six years since the victims started filing lawsuits naming 11 Catholic priests and one brother. The settlement worth $10 million is the first of its kind in the state of Missouri.Click Here For The Full Story......
