The CDF's rejection of accountability and responsibility in this area reflects an even wider arrogance and contempt for those who deserved justice, truth and redress. The real reason the CDF refuses to address and respond to victims of clerical CSA is that it would associate the Vatican at the highest levels with the toxic culture of clericalism and secrecy which have enabled CSA to be covered up, brushed aside or ignored over all these years.
The CDF plays the game of getting the local Church or the Leadership of Religious Institutes to do its dirty business by disciplining, banning and silencing priests and religious 'accused' of 'heresy' or some such. Ask people  like Tony Flannery, Brian D'Arcy, Paul Collins, Elizabeth Johnson and scores others.
The CDF has nothing in common with Jesus Christ. It belongs to the inadequately catechized old paganism and should be dismantled.
