Upon becoming bishop, Finn said that vocations to the priesthood and religious life would be seen as a "super-priority" for his diocese. Before Finn's arrival, in 2003, the diocese reported having nine seminarians. By 2007, the diocese reported 24 men studying for diocesan priesthood. In September 2014, Pope Francis ordered an investigation into Finn's tenure as bishop, to be conducted by Canadian Archbishop Terrence Prendergast. Cardinal Seán Patrick O'Malley, the leader of a church commission on child abuse cases, said in an interview that Finn's misdemeanor conviction for failure to report child abuse would have disqualified him from teaching

Sex abuse

2000 to 2019

In 2004, Bishop Emeritus Joseph Hubert Hart of the Diocese of Cheyenne was named in a civil

lawsuit A lawsuit is a proceeding by one or more parties (the plaintiff or claimant) against one or more parties (the defendant) in a civil court of law. The archaic term "suit in law" is found in only a small number of laws still in effect today ...

alleging that he sexually abused three children while serving as a priest in the Diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph and in Cheyenne. Hart had allegedly been transferred to Cheyenne in the 1970s after sex abuse allegations surfaced against him in Missouri. In 2005, a fifth person alleged abuse by Hart in 1973 or 1974, when the man was a 12-year-old parishioner at St. John Francis Regis Parish. In 2008, the diocese made a $10 million settlement with the accusers. As part of the settlement, Bishop Finn agreed to report any future suspected abuse to law enforcement. In May 2011, Bishop Finn apologized to the diocese for his failure to act in the case of Reverend Shawn Ratigan. In May 2010, an elementary school principal sent Finn a letter reporting numerous examples of inappropriate behavior by Ratigan towards children; however, Finn never read it. In December 2010, a technician discovered inappropriate images of children on Ratigan's computer and notified diocesan officials. Monsignor Murphy, the

. The vicar general notified Finn of the conversation, who did not pursue it further. Before Finn could confront Ratigan, the priest attempted suicide. Finn then sent Ratigan to a psychiatric facility. Several months later, Murphy asked police to investigate Ratigan. In May 2011, police searched Ratigan's home and found child pornography. He was arrested a week later on child pornography charges. In June 2011, Finn appointed former U.S. Attorney Todd P. Graves to investigate diocesan policies and procedures on sexual misconduct by clergy. Finn also announced the appointment of an independent public liaison and

. All charges against the diocese itself were dropped. Ratigan was convicted of producing child pornography in 2013 and was sentenced to 50 years in prison. In June 2014, the diocese was ordered by a court arbitrator to pay an additional $1 million to sexual abuse survivors because the diocese had broken the promise it made in the 2008 settlement when it failed to report the suspected abuse by Ratigan.

2019 to present

The diocese in 2019 released a list of 19 clergy with credible accusations of sexual abuse of minors. In August 2019, Reverend Benedict Neenan, abbot of

Conception Abbey Conception Abbey is a monastery of the Swiss-American Congregation of the Benedictine Confederation, located in Conception, Missouri. Founded by the Swiss Engelberg Abbey in 1873, it was raised to a conventual priory in 1876 and elevated to a ...

, released a list of eight monks who were credibly accused of committing acts of sex abuse while serving in the diocese. Neenan also issued an "unconditional apology to all victims and their families affected by the evil of clergy sexual abuse." By August 2019, Hart was facing over 12 sex abuse accusations from both Kansas City–Saint Joseph and Cheyenne. Reports surfaced that during the 1970s, Monsignor Thomas O’Brien and Hart allegedly used a house owned by O'Brien on Lake Viking in Missouri to sexually abuse children. Shortly before his death in 2013, O'Brien had agreed to pay a wrongful death settlement of over $2 million to the family of one victim who committed suicide. In January 2021, the

in the Vatican cleared Hart of seven sexual abuse charges and stated that five other charges could not be proven. Later that month, Wyoming Attorney General Bridget Hill announced that her office would not pursue criminal charges against Hart. In July 2020, two new lawsuits were filed in Jackson County Circuit Court against the diocese, involving alleged rape by two priests in 2018. The lawsuit alleges that the diocese covered up the abuse, which then allowed the two priests to gain access to and sexually abuse other vulnerable individuals as well. One of the two accused priests, now dead, was on the diocese's 2019 list. The other, who was not on the accused list, was revealed to have been placed on leave from his duties in 2018. In March 2021, Bishop Johnston announced the laicization in December 2020 of Reverend Michael Tierney, a former diocesan priest. Tierney had faced multiple credible accusations of sexual abuse of children.
