That's why this is, in fact, an important step.

Knowing something about civil law, I know this change in Canon Law does not impede any civil or criminal penalty in the least, but does accelerate direct and immediate mechanisms for the removal of those who have covered up these crimes.

I also think that child abuse is one topic where religious bigotry does not belong. It only serves to cover up and distract from a very serious problem.
