Francis has done more about the abuse crisis than his predecessors. Isn't that encouraging? First, we should judge church officials NOT by what their terrible
predecessors did but by what responsible officials would do. It's little
comfort to a girl who's been raped under Francis to say "Well, under
Benedict, there might have been an even smaller chance of your predator
being ousted."
Neither Benedict nor Francis has exposed a single child molesting cleric or really punished a single complicit church official. They've made lots of reassuring talk but taken little meaningful action.
