victims will say, on the other hand, is that this is rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. that this is sort of tweaking a system around the edges. when what it needs is kind of radical overhaul. and they would say, for example, that what the vatican needs is to put, to light a fire under bishops and other church leaders around the world to really aggressively cooperate with police and civil authorities, that will say that what we need is much more sweeping accountability mechanisms, not just for priests who abuse, but for bishops who cover it up. so those inclined to give the vatican the benefit of the doubt will say these are welcome steps forward and they re important. those who don t want to give the vatican the benefit of the doubt will say it s too little, too late. john you used the phrase in there. swift and sure justice. the vatican would say these are new rules that would insure swift and sure justice for the victims. so what do they point to in here in the new rules
