Do you mean Victor Manuel Fernandez? Seems like he didn’t handle allegations a pedophilia on account of one of his underlings very well, but that makes him a bad leader.

Although… it’s not an easy thing to handle. I once volunteered in a team that taught small children and there was one person who crossed the line during my time there. (I never witnessed any of it). It wasn’t so bad that police had to get involved. No touchy stuff, “just” bad words. But it was bad enough that we had to fire the guy and blacklist the guy and have a few meetings with parents. By the way, we would have involved police if parents wanted, but they didn’t.

As an organistion, you’re wholy unprepared to handle ith this situation and it always catches you by surprise. So of course we did not fire the guy immediately. Than it happened again and we were better prepared and fired the guy after a rough talk.

The curch is not a small organisation and should have already had procedures in place for that kind of situation. But the cardinal himself and his constituency (or what you call it) is much smaller and it may have taken him by surprise as well. It’s only human to make mistakes in a situation like this. He even admitted his mistake shortly after.
