After what I heard about this new policy which seems to be far short of the announced zero tolerance, I will never give money to the Catholic church again. I'm not a Catholic, but some times accompany my wife and her family to Catholic services. I will still go to the services to support my wife, but any money that I would have given to the church I will now donate to a home for abused kids. That's not much money in the scheme of things, but if many others take the same stance, it can help kids instead of supporting an institution that almost condones child abuse in my eyes.

What I notice here, with some astonishment, is that the worst punishment under discussion is dismissal. Nobody seems to be talking about the step that to me is most essential: immediately informing the civil authorities when such cases occur and turning over all evidence to them. I don't see mere dismissal from the priesthood as anything even remotely appropriate. These men are criminals, and need to be treated as such. Those who have knowledge of a crime and fail to report it and aid in its prosecution need to be held as responsible as the criminals for any repeated incidents.
