Pedophilia is the topic. Penn State is simply one example. It is not a rant to suggest the Catholic Church acts (acted) like a mafia for pedophiles. Extremely relevant is what the Boy Scouts did long ago to avert these problems. Penn State only suggests a larger problem that includes many 'powers that be' who ignored it. This is not about Penn State. This is about the real problem. Why pedophilia is ongoing, apparently more widespread that we knew, and happens without prosecution. Pedophilia in another 'lily white' institution? (For those overseas, the Penn State program was considered a cleanest and most honest in sports.) How can this be?
Ironically to this thread, Joe Paterno is only a sidebar. Something in Chapter one to get your attention. This story keeps getting bigger including another Chapter: the NBC interview.
I see no difference between what Lynn Abraham did in Philadelphia, what the Catholic Church routinely did in Ireland, and what has happened in Penn State.
How many pedophiles are hiding out in Notre Dame? Once we would have never considered that possibility. Today, it might be possible. Too many loose ends are being exposed. If accusations are true, even the PA State Police were complicit in a cover up. So why did that DA disappear or die?
Do these scandals have an enemies list? Can anyone get on it?
