VATICAN POSTS CDF's PROCESS; SO WHAT DOES THAT SOLVE?

So, I've read and seen the webpage at the Vatican's site on the Net that shows the entire process for accused of abuse at the CDF.

See it here:

So what does it solve? Vatican spin? Likely. I'm not going to be accept being told on this matter "How blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."

So, I'll believe that the Holy Father and his brother bishops have changed when I see words match deeds and behaviors go with policies.

I follow what Barbara Blaine of S.N.A.P. wrote on 04/12/10:

"Vatican officials are reportedly posting on line a ‘guide’ to its long-secret, convoluted policy about defrocking priests.

But making a secretive, biased and erratically-followed policy slightly more accessible can only be considered “progress” in the most narrow sense possible.

Church policies, whether on-line or not, are largely irrelevant. Bishops answer to virtually no one and can easily ignore policies. We must focus on behavior, not policies, and on deeds, not words."
