Paterno is a pig who turned a blind eye to the pervert Sandusky. He should resign immediately and start doing pennance. The Grand Jury report is indeed sickening.
Wrong, the rest is all cover-up, lying, deceipt, and lack of moral courage to do the right thing. You’re right - doing the crime is horrible. But knowing it’s being done and doing nothing so that it continues to victimize more kids - how is that not just as bad?
Interesting, you seem to have no problem with folks allowing a known predator to continue to molest children. You say that we should only focus on the actual perp. But the ones who knew and did NOTHING(Penn State) or the ones who knew an moved the perp to some new parish to molest again(catholic church) has an obligation to ensure those actions do not happen again.
Even Pontius Pilate attempted to wash his hands of Jesus’ death, in these cases, many folks were perfectly happy going about their business with VERY dirty hands.
Joe Paterno was given information about a child pervert who used the illustrious institution of Penn State to sexual assault young boys. He did NOT do the right thing. That is all we need to know. The Catholic Church can explain the errors of your thinking to you. Paterno became responsible when he was informed of the sexual abuse....HE had the obligation to call the cops on his own coaching staff. HE failed that young boy and many others. Paterno deserves to be fired. In NY state he would be arrested. It’s a crime, not sure of PA laws, but it should be the same. Protecting our children is the responsibility of all of us.
