At this point I'm just wondering when this is going to treat the abuse crisis in Germany, which was the intended aim of this whole enterprise.

Whenever a news story comes out about the Pope paving the way for gay marriage or female priests, it's interesting to see the comments on left- and far-left leaning sites like Reddit and Imgur. Overwhelmingly, there is no applause. No joy. They sneer, because they see it as just another publicity stunt to distract from the child sex abuse crisis. They cite it as proof that all the rules are made up, that the Church is just another human organization that doesn't believe in it's own teachings but changes them to support its greed, that all this "change" is just desperate grasping at straws in reaction to loosing money as people leave the church.

They're leaving the sheepfold and the 99 in search of the one lost sheep, but only because there are wolves preying on the 99 and they simply don't want to deal with it.
