Peggy Noonan thinks Church can be saved with a feminine touch... old stuff, from a Boston Catholic .

.
"I know this from having seen it: Many—not all, but many—of the men who staff the highest levels of the Vatican have been part of the very scandal they are now charged with repairing. They are defensive and they are angry, and they will not turn the church around on their own."

AND JUST TO KEEP PEOPLE
from forgetting, Noonan writes:

"In December 2002, Cardinal Bernard Law left Boston just hours before state troopers arrived with subpoenas seeking his grand jury testimony in what the state's attorney general, Thomas Reilly, called a massive coverup of child abuse. The cardinal made his way to Rome, where he resigned, and where he stayed with Archbishop James Harvey, a close friend and, as head of the pontifical household, the most powerful American in the Vatican. Within a year Archbishop Harvey, too, was implicated in the scandal."

That's a Church worth saving?
