TW, I did get a jolt and smile from your post... a sort of "Yeah, you got me" reaction.
You're completely right in your blame of the Church for protecting pedophiles.
But somehow, even hours after I read your post,
I felt that although your light sarcasm carried truth,
that there was/is a difference between the two situations.
I now think that difference is this...
With regards to the church, it was individual Bishops and Vatican
that were protecting the pedophilic members of the Clery.
In doing so, they were inflicting the evil on their local congregations...
which, in some instances were already knowing the pedophile and asking for relief.
With regards to PSU, it was the
entire local community that
was supporting (and fostering) the atmospheric mania for football,
and placing their local heroes, Paterno
and Sandusky, on their community's coaching pedestal.
Does that come close to describing the difference ?
