John, both Ireland and Australia officials dived into the investigations and gave no quarter to the Catholic Church in laying out the truth about what happened.  But the Irish Church doesn't seem to think any organizational/structural change is needed.  They appear unfocused, uncoordinated - bemoaning that today is not like 50 years ago but lost as to any idea what to do about it.  I don't know if Diarmuid Martin doesn't see a need for change or he is stymied at getting any cooperation from other bishops.

Coleridge is at least talking about some of the kinds of structural change that are needed - more lay people and women participating in governance.  He talks about the problems of the prima donna clerics rather than those who really serve.  He has some of the right words and there is at least one other bishop who is more open to change than he is.  I have a hard time imagining other Aussie bishops going along - but Coleridge is saying some of the right things.  Dare I hope?
