  Makes sense, rdp46.  
  But at least -- on a positive note -- in the English speaking world, especially in the US and Canada, we are making some kind of real progress. Australian, Irish and English Catholic Churches are doing well, too. Other non-English speaking cultures and juridical systems, however, will have to learn to deal with this issue in their own way. I am also reminded what German and English friends say about us -- that our American critique of their causes of "failure" is superficial, especially when we forget the different legal, social, cultural, and political factions within nations all over the globe (not only in continental Europe). Just watching how Spain deals with Catalonia reveals this. 
  They say success depends upon knowing how long it takes to succeed. This is certainly true of sexual abuse. We can only hope the English speaking Catholic world will be a model for all by 2075, including Hindu India.
