During the final hearings of the Catholic Wrap Up of the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses into Child Sexual Abuse, the Commissioners heard from Fr Gerry O'Hanlon sj, theologian and former leader of Irish province of the Jesuits. When asked about the strategies adopted at the highest levels of governance in the Church to deal with clerical sexual abuse of children, Fr O'Hanlon remarked, "Culture easts strategies for breakfast."

No just, transparent, accountable and effective strategies to address the hierarchy's 'criminal negligence' (Archbishop Fisher of Sydney) will ever make it through the Curia's culture of clerical protectionism and 'management by inertia' (Francis Sullivan, CEO of the Australian Truth, Justice and Healing Council) unless Pope Francis dismantles the entire system of Church governance. He has to get rid of the career priests, bishops and their clericalized lay courtiers and fill their places with sane, decent laity from across the world.
