There is a need to convey to the victims and their families a profound sense of solidarity and to provide appropriate assistance in recovering faith and receiving pastoral care.

Way too little and way too late. And why on earth would an injured party want to receive more "pastoral care" from a corrupt source. I don't get it.

Way too little and way too late.

Ma'am, with all due respect, read what Philip Lawler wrote in the article linked right below your post. He understands Vatican politics better than you do (no offense intended), and better than I do.

He, rightly, IMO, says that the bishops got spanked. This is a very contrite, tails-between-our-legs, the-guy-to-blame-is-the-one-in-the-mirror statement.
