ATF,
Ditto on the hats off to Kieran for the article.

I think the problem at the top remains one of commitment. I'm sure most at the top would LOVE to have this all just go away, and to that end, are willing to "make changes." Sadly, the changes we've seen thus far are more like the bandaid one may put on the arm of a child who hurt briefly because they stubbed a toe... It's been designed to try to tamp down outrage, but not really solve the problem. And God help us if those at the top truly believed the scant changes that HAVE been made would work because their brother bishops would rally round and finish the job.

Most of us know what Zero Tolerance should mean. Sadly, in the mindset of those at the top, like so many other words, the definition appears to mean whatever they want it to mean in any given instant.

Francis should have gotten on a plane, and flown to the home of Marie Collins when she left the commission, begging her to return on bended knee.  He didn't.  Nuff said.
