Like he is clueless to this whole thing. 

 

Now that its unraveling he’s going to take the high road like, “I knew nothin’ about it. But I’ll take charge and clean this up now.”

How does Francis expect these priest to just turn themselves in if the Bishops of the church don’t turn them in when they hear of it....but rather, they’ve been known to just send them to another church somewhere or just give them other duties?

This is a good thing to hear. It will be even better if we get some follow through. There have to be ramifications for those who are known and do not turn themselves in. Otherwise it is just more tickling the ears of the people.

Now he can claim he handled the situation, by saying "I TOLD THEM to surrender" !!!
