“Benedict has his own house to get in order before he can speak to the world with moral clarity?”

And just who do you think you are, newbie, to be telling the pope what he can and/or needs to do.

I'll tell you who I'm NOT. I'm not claiming to be the “vicar of Christ”, I don't claim “immediate and ordinary” authority to deal to deal with immoral shepherds, (priests who are pederasts are going to be removed, what about homosexual priests?), I haven't had to pay out $2 billion to victims of abuse by my “brethren” and now be “ashamed” of the failure to follow Biblical principles in dealing with these false shepherds.
And I DO understand Jesus’ word about a tree producing rotten fruit. That's moral clarity.
The observation I made might be shared by the victims of the abuse that occurred. So who are you?
