What I find most interesting in recent findings is how millenias of beaurocratic development are completelly defenceless against current stage of technology. For past couple centuries, Church created notion of "we are judge of ourselves" which most often either meant delegating case to far away place, which no interested party could visit, or by reloacting to another region with unlikely connection (and this connection was very unlikely, since Catholic Church keeps their own births, deaths and movement metrics, so those were far from random). Right now, since everything is transparent and just few taps away, this method no longer works and Church is totally lost in how to deal with it. Senior members refute all responsibility either through long-hardened loyalty or - in some cases - to protect their own wrongdoings from coming out. That makes the matter even worse. Elderly age and resulting lack of will to change doesn’t help the case either. I think of it as a David vs Goliath fight, where Goliath is more than 2000 years of institutional experience and David is a kid with a camera in his smartphone.
