I can appreciate Pope Francis wanting there to be both justice and mercy for priests who sexually abuse children and vulnerable adults.  

I do wish I saw as much effort put into a concern for both justice and mercy for the victims who are overwhelmingly laity.  

Lay people.  You know, the ones who are not "insiders" - priests or religious.  There seem to be all kinds of ways the church wants to assure those on the inside are treated fairly.  But there is no concept of how the laity are to receive justice and fairness from the Church when an "insider" mistreats an "outsider."  There are repercussions to the insider, but any restorative justice is entirely at the whim of the bishop and nothing in Canon Law compels him to act.  The Catholic lay person might as well be Methodist for all the difference it makes.

We need a Bill of Rights of Catholic Lay People that becomes part of Canon Law.
