There is a determination by secular society to eliminate child sexual abuse from the Catholic Church to a degree that we have never seen before. The impunity of Catholic bishops is ending; the age of deference towards Catholic bishops is ending. The experts on what needs to be done to solve the Church abuse crisis are the victims, not the bishops. Pope Francis has failed to fix this problem. I do believe that ultimately the Catholic Church will implement those reforms but they will do so only under duress, only when they are forced to do so by civil societies.
