Described by Bishop Finn as "a popular priest," Ratigan has been arrested and charged with three counts of felony child pornography possession.

In the statement, Bishop Finn describes how he was notified in December that Ratigan had images of children at parish events, including some that were "disturbing" and included an unclothed child.
