That was the worry with the Commission from the start. Both Marie Collins and Peter Saunders have already confirmed that by their actions. I agree with you that Cardinal O'Malley should have had the power to implement such basic improvements; but to understand that difficulty; you have to revisit evidence from Judicial Reviews in Ireland & Australia. Each bishop is independent of each other  and reports DIRECTLY to the pope since the pope APPOINTED them himself  (as their system sees it). There is no supervisory or management role of one bishop being superior to another ... YET their whole system belies that in the Vatican;  with their "monarchical court" model. Those with a "red hat" are just "ordinary" bishops selected to advise and elect a pope.
