There are legitimate critiques of some of the things Pope Francis as done(i.e not tackling the repeal of the Pontifical Secret) but this report has nothing to do with Francis himself. Its detailing the legal and structural history surrounding the sex abuse crisis in the Code of Canon Law since 1917 and how the Church has tried, or failed to deal with it. So trying to personalize this to Francis makes absolutely no sense. 

Francis himself has failed to take action in some areas. But in others he has taken action. Getting the Papal ambassador to the Dominican put on trial in 2015 is one. Getting the El Salvadorian Church to expel 3 priests and put them on trial in 2016 is another. Working with sex abuse victims in Spain to get 15 priests prosecuted and convicted of their crimes in 2015 is yet another(unfortunately overturned). Overhauling the civil laws of the Vatican city state in 2013 was another. Francis is not perfect but more has been done under him than the past Popes.
