"We all know that it was NOT men and women in the church who called for reform and justice." 
Oh, yes it WAS, but they were far and few between. How do I know? Because I was one of them and I certainly did not consider myself prophetic at the time, simply called to it due to my own experience of having been molested (along with my sisters) by our Catholic pastor. When 7 (?) young men in our diocese went to civil trial back in the 90's and the true nature of the beast started to reveal itself, in the face of the disbelief and condemnation of fellow parishioners, I took what little courage I had and supported the men privately and in public with op eds and alerts to countless Catholic rectories all up and down the state. The backlash from ecclesiastics of that era, the shunning by fellow parishioners and the embarrassment of my family nearly killed me. Was it worth it? You're ***n right it was and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but, again, only  with the help of the Holy Spirit.
