I can't help but wonder if a reality check will ever happen with the bishops.  This kind of stuff, on the scale it appears to have been, does not happen in a vacuum.  It's very likely not just parish priests, at the diocesan level.   Gotta believe that some of those folks live in Vatican City...

Francis has his hand full, no doubt.  But he'd get a LOT more sympathy and support if he would get back on the pedophilia scandal, and establish real accountability.  Until he does that, , I think the laity will become slowly more distant from it all...  until it's too late to pull them back,
