So... I'm confused. He says this, and makes no effort to cover it up, and you guys continue on the attack. Would it have improved the situation had he said this before, prior to knowing all the facts? That seems to be what you guys are pissed off about now.
Uh, who's continuing any attack? This is the first step in the right direction, obviously.
The attack has shifted now, and that shift is reflected in your attitude, obviously. Now its... "Oh man, after the long cover-up (which had nothing to do with this Pope) the asshole finally decided to do something."
Right, heaven forbid that the supreme leader of an organization be held accountable for the widespread activities of its members.
We all know that priests have been fiddling kids for centuries, but it's reassuring to
finally see a Pope actually attempt to do something about it instead of either trying to cover it up, ignore it, or treat any accusations as defamation, like his predecessors. Despite his latest statements being damningly overdue, of course.
