Thank you Chiara. I had seen the PCPM site before, and was very surprised to find that Cardinal O’Malley’s statement in February 2016 that everyone has a moral and ethical responsibility to report all allegations of child sexual abuse to the police was not written into the Guidelines issued on 6 December 2016. This is a classic example of what Marie Collins was talking about – the actions not matching the words. Another example is Pope Francis’ claim that he practices zero tolerance and then refuses to dismiss 5 out of 6 Brisbane priests jailed for sexually abusing children, contrary to the request of Archbishop Coleridge and the CDF. Pope Francis has said some wonderful things about climate change, inequality and poverty, but all he can do is encourage others to act. When it comes to reforming  canon law on child sexual abuse and dismissing abusive priests, the buck stops entirely with him. He is the absolute monarch and answerable to no one.
