Comprehensive piece considering so many angles, thanks. Troubling that we cannot (or will not!) clean house, which often short-circuits the evangelisation so necessary to this generation.

[missing word: But if reform isn’t going to happen, and if serious abuse advocates are likely to *interpret* Zollner’s defection as a sign to stay away...]

"He lamented a “lack of clarity” on the selection of commission members,"

There seems to be a pattern where those most implicated in abuse or cover-up are the first ones to "volunteer" for these committees against abuse.

Exhibit "A" being Cardinal McCarrick who ran to the front of the line to "confront abuse" after the dam broke in 2002. But he's far from the only one. As such it doesn't hurt to look at precisely who puts themselves out there for these anti-abuse committees, and who is mysteriously appointed to them for no apparent reasons too.
