Buster,
This issue is so much bigger than Finn.  What you see as a "mob mentality" is something I see as a cry for justice, a recognition of the existence of a double standard within the church, and above all, a conscious and ongoing choice by those who lead the church to not do what by their very teachings, should be done.

Francis promised tribunals to hold bishops accountable, only to back down.  He crated a much-vaunted Papal Commission, only to effectively pretty much side-rail the group.  Both were a lot of words, and neither has done much.  Yet, with the stroke of a pen, Francis, his predecessor, and HIS predecessor each COULD have taken giant steps to make this right, but chose not to.

I like Francis, and I like O'Malley (in the sense that I really hope he can deliver real change.  But neither has really delivered much by way of real change just yet.
