This entire matter makes me ashamed of the Church and my much-beloved pope.  And that directly includes Cardinal O'Malley who contributed directly to the failures of the commission.  After being very, very hopeful when this group was formed, I now see it as proof positive that the Catholic Church will never get it right when it comes to its abuse history and in helping its victims.  I am tired of fielding questions from others about why the Church has done what it's done, not just the sexual abuse itself, but the cover-ups, the protection of abusing clerics/religious, the total lack of real accountability of bishops who enabled the scandal from start to finish, and now the failure in toto of this commission.  My answer now is that I disavow the aspects of the Catholic Church that did this atrocity, and that keep it going even now.
