Sonoma,
I wish what you said about the cleansing momentum were true.  Sadly, Benedict and now Francis have BOTH given us plenty of those kinds of false hopes, and neither has yet to really deliver.  That's why I think what's beginning to develop within the church, is a sense of impatience, a sense that we're "being played," or that this is all some sort of a twisted theatre,  as there isn't much intent to make real changes. 

One wonders just how many Papal Apologies, how many words it will take, before real change happens?  Benedict's "tears" upon actually listening to victims, went nowhere, for example.  I think we're to the point where more and more in the laity really don't care or believe what these guys say anymore:   it's time for action, but does Francis really understand that?  Will he finally take real action?  Or will this just be one more false hope, generated simply because a pope says something to the effect of "we know you're there?"
