My first thought when reading this post is that admittedly the bishops and church had to be forced into admitting there was a problem and then be forced by secular law to do the right thing.  That alone took decades.   I totally agree with Pandora666 that the bishops and the larger church hierarchy should not be in charge of the fund.  Every bishop needs to pay into a fund because every bishop was  part of the problem by overtly lying about what was happening and transferring the offending priest or tacitly because they did not speak out about the travesty of justice perpetrated by our church!   Having said that, however,  I must give kudos to the Swedish church for their actions.  IMHO I believe Jesus would have done the same.  If only the wider church would look at itself for their own actions or inaction and be shamed into doing the same.
