There are different perspectives on this regrettable situation. 

There's Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith's opinion: "We can no longer pretend that the Vatican is getting to grips with the abuse crisis."

Then there's Austen Ivereigh's view: "Collins’s resignation doesn’t mean pope’s anti-abuse body is not working."
