Somehow...Because talk is more then previous popes did... That is some miracle we should be happy about.

Is he not the unquestioned leader who is infallible on matters of religious doctrine? Why does this change have to come slowly? Will they un-pope him?

As for making child abuse a crime... That was a change to Vatican city law, not church doctrine... Oh and he also made leaking vatican secrets a much graver crime... That can change quickly... But it appears the change about child abuse won't include helping authorities track down priests that the church hides... or making restitution... Just stiffer penalties for those that get caught in the vatican... Yay change!
