Is failure to report child porn to cops now a crime?

U.S. bishop charged for not taking porn to police - CBS News: "After the Catholic sex abuse scandal erupted in 2002, grand juries in several regions reviewed how bishops handled claims against priests. However, most of the allegations were decades old and far beyond the statute of limitations. Until Finn was indicted Friday, no U.S. Catholic bishop had been criminally charged over how he responded to abuse claims, although some bishops had struck deals with local authorities to avoid prosecution against their dioceses."

I'm not sure where this is going. This is the first criminal charge against a Bishop. But why would anyone who failed to report be similarly liable? And why could that not extend to all knowledge of criminality?
