Kick them all out

IF THE Pope is really on the side of the victims, it is within his power to show his utter revulsion for the abusers by excommunicating the lot of them, and anyone who aided them by covering it up.

By doing this, he will restore the faith of the people who have gone away from the Church because of the abuse.

Not to do so would show that his expressed support and sympathy for victims means nothing. I believe His Holiness is a man of honour and will take the appropriate action, he has the power and the authority.
