"The problem was and continues to be the unbridled abuse of power and authority by an episcopacy that put what was the good name of an institution before the well being of its most vulnerable members."

It will be hard for him to deal with a problem when he was involved in the cover up. Google “The 1962 Vatican Instruction, “Crimen Sollicitationis” Promulgated on March 16, 1962. It gives the directions of how to cover up the sexual abuse cases, and pass the blame to the children. It was also signed by Pope Benedict prior to being pope. This is the classic case of the fox in the hen house situation, and not too many people are dumb enough to buy the bull coming out of Rome now.
