No, it is not complicated at all, and there is no need for a Star Chamber. See my comment above. Canon law provides for exceptions and modifications to a general law where it wants to. The problem is not the nature of canon law, but the unwillingness of Pope Francis to change it. Quite apart from the issue of confession, the pontifical secret imposed by SST 2001 and 2010 still requires a cover up where there are inadequate civil reporting laws. Secreta Continere even purports to take away the bishop's conscience in the matter. It is unfortunate that for a Pope who has said so many good things about climate change, poverty and inequality, the only inference that can be drawn is that he is happy for the cover up of child sexual abuse by clergy to continue wherever the Church can get away with it.
