They will play dodge ball, half of them are involved and the rest don't care.

I agree. Although I believe that some of the Cardinals are sincere, since the job of cleaning house is left up to the Bishops to implement, I will believe it when I see it. I predict that there will be little practical change in the dioceses of the liberal Cardinals, while the orthodox Cardinals will take this and rightly implement it.

Although, I am skeptical that the more notorious seminaries (as depicted in "Goodbye Good Men" will be able to stay under the official radar. I do think though, that overall we will see dioceses that were previously flamboyantly flaunting the rules of the faith become not quite so flamboyant, and the dioceses under the control of orthodox Bishops will become even more so strict on the regulation of active gay priests and other problem priests.

But failing direct intervention on the part of the Vatican, I don't think this will end all of the problems associated with this recent scandal throughout the Catholic Church's presence in America.
