That's um ... great.

I'm sure it will make a lot of people who've never been touched (literally) by this scandal very happy.

For the rest of us, life goes forward without looking towards Rome, thank you very much.

And by the way: anyone who thinks that making changes to what celibacy or gender requirements is going to change anything, that's YOUR agenda for your own reasons. Married men molest children every day. Women molest children every day. Gay people molest children every day.
