This strikes me of Ireland's version of Snowden, in that we essentially knew about it all along, but it's taken the arrival of wide-spread evidence for anything to actually happen. The good news is that it is actually happening. I don't actually think we're going to see anyone punished, but we are seeing change, which is much more important. Ireland's progressed a long way from so narrowly accepting divorce, in an astonishingly short amount of time. It's become quite clear that the current generation aren't going to allow the Church free reign anymore.
