I do think—I don’t know—that the pope’s sickness had a lot to do with his not being on top of the American scandals. Was it right for him to hang on as long as he did, in light of that? Did he read divine signals wrong? I don’t know. His will makes clear he wondered and prayed about that (not breaking news, either, I would think, to anyone who followed him). To suggest that he simply had little interest in children who were molested, I think, is unfair, and obviously so.
