Don,
Thanks.  I think I'd be so much more willing to forgive, if I really believed that the bishops fully understood, and honestly had that same 'change of heart' to which they continually call the laity on all manner of issue, INCLUDING our response in the confessional.  

I can't provide a simple listing of what it would take, but this clearly falls into that "I'll know it when I see it" category.  I want to see a true change of heart.  Evidence of that likely should include the recognition for the need and actual execution of accountability for those bishops involved.  I cannot believe, for example, that a strategy that effectively allows these guys to live out their lives, peacefully, and often somewhat affluently, even as the church continued to fight victims in court, withhold info...   all of that tells me the change of heart has yet to happen.  

So to me, this becomes a bit like choosing to dine with an unrepentant known abuser, talented or not...
