Pope refuses to answer questions about claims by Vatican diplomat he covered up sex abuse

Do you ever discuss the sex abuse problem with any Catholics you know well personally?
In my experience, many faithful Catholics continue to view this as being limited to "a few bad apples" who do not in the view of the faithful reflect at all on the wider clergy and clerical hierarchy.

Even here on this board, how often do the Catholics bring up the topic of the sex abuse? Where are the threads discussing praying the rosary for the victims and for God to give the church leadership the guidance and strength to do the right thing in dealing with the problem, however painful that might be for them personally? I haven't seen any.

A few years ago, before Francis ascended to the pontificate, there were rumors, allegations that the scandal reached the upper ranks of the Vatican. Some have speculated that it was that scandal which helped push Benedict to abdicate, using his kidney disease partly as a cover. Francis' selection was supposed to be a turning of the page to a church leader with clean hands. But if the allegation of this ex-Vatican diplomat is to be believed, even Francis' hands are soiled, which would help explain why he has not been more aggressive in handling the problem. He has talked a good game, but it doesn't seem like he has actually done very much.
