One of the few things I actually agree with dissident Catholics on is the poor handling of the sex abuse crisis by the pope and bishops. 

JPII I think was too old and infirm to get a real handle on the crisis which happened towards the end of his papacy. Regardless he should not have given Law that cushy job in Rome.  Benedict XVI I think simply didn't get it. He did not understand that what people wanted was for him to hold bishops accountable--something he was not doing.

Pope Francis talks a good game---but he is short on substantive action. Changes to Canon Law are all well and good.  Meaningful and substantive action means removing bishops who cover up abuse or do not report it--and making sure people know why the bishop is being removed. Like Benedict, I am not sure Pope Francis gets this.  I guarantee you that if just one bishops was removed---that would take care of the problem.  The other bishops would be put on notice.
