You would be even more shocked if you spent time on the Religion forum here and read some of the excuses made for covering up child rape in the Catholic church.

You couldn't resist, could you? And here I was about to give you kudos for paying attention to homosexual child rape in a secular institution. Unfortunately, you remain a cheap-shot artist at heart.

This article proves the exact point that all of us on the Religion forum regularly make to the Catholic-bashers--that this stuff is in no way unique to the Catholic Church and exists to an even greater extent in every large institution and to an infinitely greater extent in secular institutions that actively promote sexual deviance. The difference is that the media revels in attempting to destroy the Church while it covers up for secular institutions.

In the end, they will cover up for Penn State in this case, too. You can already see it happening.

We'll have our apology now, thank you.

Um, perhaps I missed it, but why do you not condemn the Institution of Rome for the cover up they conducted to protect their image when rampant homosexual abuse is charged and proven? Apologize? I would rather the poster just ignore your whine.

Thank you for proving my point that child-rape apologists like you use the same sick excuse of "Don't blame us, everyone rapes children."

In this case leadership was fired yet Cardinal Law still serves at the Vatican.
