What do you make of this report about Marie Collins resigning from the Church's anti-abuse Commission? https://cruxnow.com/interviews/2017/03/01/abuse-survivor-leaves-popes-anti-sex-abuse-commission/ I can't make head or tail of it. On the one hand (according to other reports) she appears to be pointing the finger at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF). On the other hand, according to this report, she is complaining about lack of funds for the Commission. In all reports, she blames politics in the Curia. She exonerates Pope Francis and, evidently, Cardinal O'Malley from all blame and hasn't given up her job of educating new bishops about child abuse. Given that she recently questioned the Church's commitment to tackling child abuse following the report about Don Mercedes being reinstated by the Pope after the CDF had recommended having his priestly faculties removed, I don't understand why she is placing the blame on the CDF. How would the CDF have control over funding and staffing of the new Commission? Wouldn't that be down to the Secretariat of State or whoever holds the purse strings? Is this another hatchet job on the CDF?
