text: Marie Collins first "litmus test" on Francis overcoming Vatican reluctance to address handling child sex abuse:  "...First, a mechanism for holding church leaders accountable, operating transparently and justice being seen to be done..."  
  
  Accountability, transparency, and justice.  A T J, for short.
  
  According to USA Today and Pacific Daily News, a decision has been reached in the trial of Archb Apuron of Guam of multiple charges of child sex abuse, but its' release is "awaiting judges signatures."    ++ Burne, appointed to replace Apuron at some point, "has only been notified that there is a decision, but he does not know the specific charges, the verdict or the penalty, if any."  Byrnes also said he doesn't know who the judges are.   
  
  Byrnes also said there will be an opportunity for appeal.  So the "no appeal" Pope Francis talked about evidently doesn't apply to a bishop.  ???
  
  Hope the written decision will have lots of detail, so we can see if A T J is accomplished.
