## Resource

A priest linked to the St. John Vianney Latin Mass Community has been temporarily removed from public ministry after a decades-old allegation of misconduct involving a minor surfaced. The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, alerted by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter and the Archdiocese of Omaha, immediately notified law enforcement. Father Flood, who has relocated outside the state, maintains his innocence and is cooperating with ongoing investigations. The archdiocese stresses this is an administrative step to protect all parties and not a verdict on the claim. An independent review board will evaluate findings once investigations conclude. This follows other recent misconduct cases, including a substantiated abuse allegation against a former teacher and felony theft charges against another former priest.
