He was right to resign because the trust that has been lost over this scandal could never have been restored while he held office — it was clear from so many of the statements of those who had been abused that it was permanently fractured.
But this leaves us with the question of where the church goes now. How do we start the long and slow process of rebuilding trust across so many divides?
