Pressure needs to be put on Cardinal O'Malley to inform Francis how critical it is  to the faith lives of millions of Catholic/Christians in every country affected that he take immediate action on this matter in order to calm waters that are at a boiling point.  Victims must be represented on the commission by very savvy, articulate male & female victims  as well as a no nonsense advocate...Thomas Doyle or his like would be great. 
We want to believe that Francis has our best interests at heart, but actions speak louder than words. As for all the blather about the commission being underfunded and understaffed, surely bright, young seminarians or even exceptional Catholic/Christian university students would give their eye teeth to intern usefully in commission offices to facilitate letters to victims; as well, I'll bet there are many wealthy Catholics who would love to take care of that particular funding. Let's get our heads & hearts in gear folks & get moving!! Time's a wasting.
