"But one thing I think that the abuse crisis did is that it has made the Church much more transparent. Some would say that we haven't gone far enough. But I think that there's no doubting that the experience that we've been through has made leadership understand transparency and accountability in a way that the hierarchy did not understand before. And I think that's a good thing. Not only just the hierarchy, but even the laity have an expectation of transparency and accountability. When I meet with people, there's no apology to ask questions of how are decisions made, and what are the finances and other things."
