"I love that Pope Francis has a learning curve like every good person does. And that he has the guts and humility to own it. So hopeful now. His spontaneous remarks are so much more authentic than the prepared, vanilla remarks. Love him!"

Assuming that Pope Francis knew nothing of the child sexual abuse crimes by priests and cover-ups by Bishops before becoming Pope, 4.5 years for a learning curve shows that, unfortunately, Pope Francis is either not very smart or simply contributing to the Vatican strategy of wasting time until all current enabling Bishops and Cardinals are dead.

Moreover, your comment reveals that you have read almost nothing about these issues. You can start by reading "Potiphar's Wife: The Vatican's Secret and Child Sexual Abuse", by Kieran Tapsell.
