"4) We will propose an Apostolic Visitation of seminaries and religious houses of formation, giving special attention to their admission requirements and the need for them to teach Catholic moral doctrine in its integrity. "

This is one/half of the solution because it addresses the future. The other half concerns the past - personal responsibility. Who was responsible for the seminaries getting that way and who, with subsequent knowledge, did not do anything when problems surfaced. Resignations and reassignments are in order ASAP.

Why can't the bishops just do this? If there's anything which stops them, I'm not aware of it. (Apostolic visitation = the bishop or his delegate going in and investigating, no?)

Why does it have to be 'proposed'?

It's a very sad occasion when parents warn their children about people touching them in an inappropriate manner, that they now have to say "including priests". Dear God!
