Wow!  Thank you, Marie Collins, for courage, honesty, stubbornness and clear thinking.  

This rebuttal to CDF's Muller was necessary if there is to be a chance for change.  As Francis Sullivan said last Friday at a meeting of the Catalyst for Renewal meeting in Sydney, Australia:  "If people of good will, the good priests, the willing religious, the enlightened leaders, but more importantly people like you – the engaged and informed Catholics – don’t continue to push for change then, as sure as night follows day, the reactionaries will overcome and nothing will change."

Francis Sullivan is the CEO of the Truth, Justice and Healing Council set up by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference and Catholic Religious Australia soon after the Aussie government created a Royal Commission to investigate institutional response to child sex abuse.  Even Sullivan, appointed by Australian bishops, is speaking out for real substantive change.
