There are many more, Monica. One Bishop was on a visit to Rome. When he returned, at his first diocesan meeting for the clergy he announced, "I certainly found a Pope in Rome, but I did not find Peter!"

They are out there okay and they certainly are malevolent. But the red hats elected Francis, that is important to remember.

On your other point about the public nature of this issue. It's about time the laity were able to see and here what was normally done behind closed doors. Well done, Francis! The excuse many of the malevolent gave to justify their cover up over abuse was that the poor, stoopid laity should be saved from such awful information. We are mostly big enough and mature enough to deal with unpalatable truths.
