It's good that there is talk of handing over to the secular arm for punishment, but what about the severe penances? If it sounds like too much of a government program, it'll sound like an empty and faceless bureaucratic and cynical maneuver, designed to frustrate, stonewall and disarm detractors while protecting the guilty from justice.
Again, would that we hadn't abolished juridical torture and made severe penances a thing of the past.
