Australian Royal Commission into Child Abuse

The Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has just presented its report consisting of 17 thick tragic volumes.

Two of the recommendations are that celibacy in the catholic church should be voluntary, and that priests hearing confessions of harm to children should be able to report them.

What do you think are the chances of either of those things happening? I think the Catholic church would rather go on paying victims than tackle the root causes of these horrible abuses.
