I wonder Colkoch about the range of "political considerations" that Francis is dealing with relative to abuse in the undeveloped world....and the impact of really tough sanctions on hierarchical abusers (who cover up, stonewall, pass on predators, actually molest, et al.. ) in this part of the world?

Is he afraid of schism? Is that why this "effort" lacks accountability and "teeth"?

Or is it that he doesn't see child abuse as a serious matter compared to other matters he deals with?

Or is he just so old school that he doesn't want to upset the clerical "niceties" ?

Or does he simply want a gradual synodal process to deal with these issues over an extensive period of time bringing  recalcitrant hierarchy along.... regardless of damage to kids in the interim?

I am truly at a loss to figure it out?
