Vatican publishes statutes for commission to protect minors | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: I think this is a good start.  I would wonder what took so long but I know what was in the way.  If it were me, I would end the right of priests to have the Pope see there case - no Pope approved their ordination so no Pople should be needed to fire them.  In a European Church with a population decimated by plague, the Pope can weigh everywhere.  Its too big for that now.  As for the Congregation of the Clergy, if they resist at all, not only put them under new management, but put an auditor in charge of their every action and start with the assumption of bad faith.  How long to do it?  How long were the American Sisters under review?  One more thing, drop every defense that says that bishops are autonomous in lawsuits.  The appoints bishops through the Nuncieria.  The Pope is therefore liable - start selling art, but don't unprice it (even if it is culturally flawed - Jesus was not an anorectic from Milano and his clan was not white either.
