To the surprise of absolutely nobody, the meeting in Rome last month between Pope Francis and select Catholic bishops has produced absolutely nothing concrete. While bishops fiddled in Rome, Catholics around the world are demanding concrete structural reforms to the church. These two features alone would go a long way to helping the Catholic Church hold bishops accountable and stop them from secretly shuffling abusers from parish to parish. It was obvious to me then that the system needed serious reform. Heaven knows the Catholic Church needs all the help it can get.
