They are facts as reported in the news media. You believe all that, do you not? Penn State is as the name implies a public institution. Its police have arrest powers. Joe Pa made a police report. They investigated and closed the investigation. Neither Jim Jones nor David Koresh were Catholic. None of the hundreds of public school teachers arrested for sexual impropriety in the US each year are protected by the Church. Check your Scripture; I’m pretty sure that’s your only source of righteousness, in Matthew I’m certain it says “judge not, that ye be not judged.” Let’s see if the Evangelicals and Pentecostals who shriek about the Church can live up to their own standard of perfection.

Did you happen to read what immediately follows that passage? It shoots holes in your premise.

We are also told to

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people not at all meaning the sexually immoral of this world, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters, msince then you would need to go out of the world. But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge? God judges those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.”
1 Corinthians 5, 9-13

Sounds like there is some judging going on.

When he heard that one of his former assistance coaches, who had access priviledge to the locker rooms was raping kids in the shower, “Joe Pa” told him to take it outside of Penn State. According to many reliable sources, some who left Penn State because of it, he was notorious for shutting down investigations or letting his football players skirt ethic violations-all to protect his football team. And Penn State was more then happy to support Paterno as long as he brought in the money.

As far as scripture goes, it also says “Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
