Pope Francis has been criticized
in the past for not taking a harder stance against pedophile priests.
His Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors has been slow to
start, condemned for missteps
surrounding the forced leave of absence for Peter Saunders, one of two
commission members who is a victim of clerical abuse. And the group
faced accusations last year
that it was out of touch and irrelevant because it wasn’t even involved
in training new bishops about how to handle clerical-abuse accusations.
