“Is there a pecking order of who to forgive?”
Yes. People who participate in pedophilia and those who excuse/allow it are at the bottom of that list. To compare it with under age drinking in any capacity is disgusting.
“I’ll confess I’m in no mood to forgive Sandusky. He must be held legally responsible for the rape he has committed. Paterno, McQueary, and the others need to be held legally responsible too. If this is the one time in life these men(outside of Sandusky) failed to do the right thing, does that mean they are forever to be despised and rejected?”
Considering the subject matter? You damn right.
“How, and can, they ever make things right?”
They need to work that out with God and the kids raped, not you or I.
Watched the video of Paterno in front of his house with the students. God and little boys were the last thing on his mind. He was laughing and smiling talking about how great life was with all the support he was getting. Actually shedding a tear or too of joy. The dude's mind don't work right.

What’s disgusting is the vile hatred and general ignorance on display.
I take it you think underage drinking is kind of a joke. I didn’t notice a whole lot of laughter at the two funerals I recently attended for a couple of teenage boys killed in an accident resulting from underage drinking.
