I listed those things because it shows that the Pope is at least attempting to do something. By the way on the Spanish issue, why was that a debacle? Because the statute of limitations in Spain expired hence why it made prosecuting most of those priests difficult(even though I believe 2 were prosecuted anyways) 

Hence why the simplistic argument of someone people who say "If he just hands it over to the police and that's it then the issue will be solved". That's not the case  when you are dealing with statute of limitations in various countries. 

On the issue of the tribunal, I am aware that it got scraped last year but he tried to replace it with toughening the legal procedures on  the issue, hence why the El Salvador trials happened. And that wasn't just defrocking those priests. It was engaging in criminal investigation of their conduct which the Vatican has not done before.
