'The last item (information sharing), said McCormack, would "help break the secrecy and silence in the church."
Yes Ms McCormack, that would help enormously. What would be the decisive move to 'break the secrecy and silence' would be for Pope Francis, the Church's supreme legislator, to excise from Canon Law the 'pontifical secret' which, among other things,  binds bishops and other senior religious leaders not to report paedophile clergy to civil authorities in jurisdictions which do not have mandatory reporting laws. In those countries which do have mandatory reporting, the Holy See has granted dispensations to local bishops but the concession is that they 'may' report not 'must.' 
Until someone explains to Pope Francis that he presides over a internal legal system which elevates Canon Law over the teaching of Christ, the Church's own best moral teachings and intuitions then all the protocols and procedures  will continue to amount to nothing but smoke and mirrors.
