Michael, there were hundreds of Cardinals who remained silent as clerical abuse was covered up. All of them! That was their sin. Corruption and heavy handedness were way down the food chain in comparison. 

Some of the Traddies have been getting their cilicies in a fankle over Francis' address to the Curia. Francis got it right. Any claims members of the hierarchy may have had to sanctity or to consider themselves moral arbriters over peoples' lives, disappeared over the previous two Popes. 'Worms', he called them.

You are correct that it's time we got it right. And Francis seems to be acting with great wisdom in that department. Those who acknowledge what they did, you have a repentant man, a solid requirement in my book, for any leader. Those who don't and who want to continue their Catholic 'routine-ism', - careful the door doesn't hit them in the @sses on their way out.

The number of departments and how they are organised would then become less relevant.
