Nearly 150 Catholics gathered to pray in support of Kansas City-St. Joseph Bishop Robert W. Finn outside of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Pentecost Sunday.
The negativity toward the bishop expressed in the press “is not how the majority of people in the pews feel,” said Nathan Lewis, a parishioner at Our Lady of Good Counsel, in an interview with the diocesan paper The Catholic Key.
Lewis was among the faithful praying for the bishop.
Controversy has been spiraling around Bishop Finn since former St. Patrick's pastor Father Shawn Ratigan was arrested in May on three counts of possessing child pornography.
