I find all of this commission bunk to be a delay tactic.  Tom Doyle had a team ready to confront this in an open and pastoral way. You are right. He gave them all the answers 32 years ago

Church and many Catholics excuses 101
Thank God for the pontifical commission to notice these mistakes. 

Now we can finally learn why we made those mistakes of transferring Fr. pedophiles and covering up the rape of children. 

Even better we can finally learn how to deal with this stuff. 

We did not know back then that child rape was bad. Now we know it is a mistake and a sin. 

But Francis is a really nice old man and he washed some prisoners feet and drives a Fiat. Cut him some slack it has been only four years. What can you expect from one man like Francis, when every one is sabotaging his every attempt at responding to victims, protecting children.

Just imagine 3 years from now I bet Francis will punish all those bishops because you can tell by looking at him he is all about accountability.
