–add more names to their ‘credibly accused clerics’ list,
–stop hiding abuse reports for months or years and instead, for the safety of kids, disclose them promptly, and
–start doing ‘aggressive outreach’ to find and help others who were victimized by clerics and are still ‘suffering in shame, silence and self-blame.
