According to these folks, the conservative element in the Church, including at central headquarters, is basically overcome by fear...

No, you're 180 degress out of phase. It's people like you, who are being overtaken by fear.

Meanwhile, it looks like the Pope and the Holy See are planning to sit out the sex abuse crisis without admitting any fault or instituting any real reforms.

This statement is totally ignorant. The pope has admitted deep regret for abusive clergy and enacted programs for reform to prevent recurrence. Most notably, bishops who permitted ordination of homosexual men in violation of canon law have been advised to get with the program.

The "hip" of yore who promoted the false visions of Vatican II are dying off. The young are flocking to hold dear what the hippies rejected and are discovering what Vatican II really was.

May the LIBs who drove so many OUT of the church, suffer the same fate now, as a new generation returns to tradition.
