Why single out churches? Penn State is not a church, and myriad other organizations, including government schools and Planned Parenthood, are notorious for whitewashing sex scandals. Bob

Because people expect better out of those who take the high moral ground.

Sure, all people who don't take sex abuse seriously need to be held accountable, but churches, who preach holy living and uphold moral standards, should not have to be held accountable. They should be setting the standard in dealing with sex abuse cases, not hiding it.

Well stated, with my one slight clarification.
