I have the same problem with some sites from the UK. Here's a screenshot that sums it up.

@TheGreatShadow Thanks

@TheGreatShadow Yes and there's also the problem that it's like using a watering can on a five-alarm fire. The church is demonstrably guilty of molesting literally tens of thousands of children in multiple jurisdictions due to obvious systemic problems. This is not an appropriate or proportional response to the actual problem, and the emphasis remains on providing understanding and comfort and help to the perpetrator. I don't see a single word about what was done for the victims or their families.

The response is also local, it's not top-down from Vatican-level initiatives.

It does not get at the root problem, the celibacy requirement for priests and the resultant sexual repression and its knock-on effects. It doesn't add real, comprehensive transparency either. It adds some, in a controlled fashion, said control being in the hands of the archbishop. I could go on and on. It's ultimately just really clever PR.

@mordant Another valid point I wanted to bring up. IT's vague about what he actually did, but as long as I've known he's been touchy-feely. I wish I could show you, but a friend of mine reported him about 15 years ago. He never went to jail, and I never got a reply as to what happened.

@TheGreatShadow Some people are affectionate by nature, and sometimes it's innocent. Others convince themselves it's innocent but it's not. Like that AME bishop who hugged -- who was it, Ariana Grande? -- on-camera while she tried to fend him off in every conceivable form of body language available to her without making an overt scene, and then he issued a disrespectful non-apology in the face of everyone's outrage ("sorry if you were offended by my innocent affection" ).

Even those I think are just cluelessly naive should know better. Joe Biden is a prime example. An affectionate shoulder-rub on your niece at the Thanksgiving table is not something you should do in front of TV cameras in public with strangers. And your niece probably doesn't even like it.
