text: I thought the comments of Susan Pavlak were wise, and clearly rooted in intelligence.  I love the path she's trying to forge for herself, and perhaps the church.  We need to hear more of those kinds of things.
  
  Yet at the same time, I just don't see that as the real path that will work for the church.
  
  Those who are raising the "but what about unjustly accused priests" cries here have a point.  But I think that point comes off, for the most part, as deflection, as perhaps almost a cry to just walk away from it all because "everybody got hurt."
  
  But I'd imagine that for every unjustly accused cleric, there were thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of victims. Whereas the clerics will be given the full resources of the church to help them through, most victims will spend their lives in a painful exile.
  
  Change is needed.  Institutional change, process change, change in Canon Law, and more.  But above all, there must be a change of heart in those who lead.  Until then, little can be done.
