This was supposed to happen through Fr. Jenkins, literally, having a "come to Jesus" moment and urging that charges be dropped.
This whole affar has left a very bad taste in the mouth and these people have been through a needless ordeal.
This case may be closed but the "Notre Dame" issue most certainly isn't.
Notre Dame lost a lot of alumni money over that incident.
There is speculation that the one who passed away during this process -- that death was hastened by the charges against her.
It is possible that the blood of that person is on Father John Jenkins hands...
Considering the number of Bishops/Cardinals/Archbishops who urged Father John Jenkins to re-consider, I think it might be difficult for him to achieve heaven.
In my opinion, Father John Jenkins is a source of bad example, and a source of scandal.
Jesus said such people: "should put a millstone about their neck and be thrown into the sea."
In the case of the clergy sex abuse scandal, one such priest committed suicide. Maybe that priest has a better chance at heaven than Father John Jenkins...
But God only knows, and only God can judge such people...
