Actually , if this news has caused such a reaction on CAF, that tells me no one has been dealing with it.

And just now, you are about to start dealing with it appropriately

And again, what are you talking about? Should there be less outrage each time another part of the scandal surfaces? And who are what is “you” when you say “you are about to start dealing with it appropriately”? You realize the laity is different than the hierarchy, right? I appreciate that your country has dealt with the crisis in its own way and time. But respectively, you really don’t know what’s happening in the US.
 
Wrong, those people will give to their parish or otherwise use non-profits to ensure their money isn’t misappropriated and used as intended which is all that they are required to do
 
I wasn’t just referring to priests canonized as Saints. At least I don’t think I did. I wrote that post pretty late.

That’s why I’m in favor of a board(s) made up of orthodox lay Catholics and perhaps some Permanent Deacons to hear these complaints. And that board would take criminal accusations directly to the police and investigate credible abusive (non crimes) directly, without ever going to the Bishop.

That would deal with children. But if you read the reports from Chile and from some dioceses in the US, seminarians have also been abused/coerced into sexual relationships with their superiors, spiritual directors, and bishops. They’re adults so it’s not a crime. It’s simply sickening, disgusting, and immoral.

I suppose a lay board could go to the media and state that the bishop has abused seminarians, but I’m not sure that’s the entire solution.

In situations where there is no civil crime, but a church crime, the lay board would go the to Nuncio if it was a bishop
