If this article doesn't pretty much confirm what so many of us have been long saying about the church's response.

To begin, note that the Commission is asking the Pope to create a new Vatican Office to provide training.  We're asking for (yet another) Vatican office....   to train prelates....   to write letters....     and we have to ask the pope....

Seems to me this just showcases how little power that commission has, and how much "small ball" is being played here.  Such a "small" piece of a very large picture, and they are asking permission...

O'Malley should have had all the powers needed to make that kind of thing happen.   He shoulda been able to hire a contractor to take the points from the commission, have somebody build the training, let the commission approve it, and then have the contractor give the training.  Done, let's move on to the bigger stuff.   

This whole thing suggests to me that this commission really is just window dressing...
