Pratchett's Granny Weatherwax cuts to the core of the matter, I think:
"And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."
The Pope's Apology. Does it go far enough?
On the original topic, the Vatican is expected to make an announcement of worldwide guidelines, rather than continuing to deal with this on a country by country basis. If bishops continue to not do their jobs after this...I imagine we'd see more serious discipline of bishops.
