"how could all this go under the noses..."

Believe it or not, there at least have been in the past people so out of touch with reality and a realistic understanding of the aggressive nature of homosexual subculture that they would doubt you were telling the truth if you described how bad the situation might be in a given institution. I know this to be a fact at least with respect to problems other than pedophile molestations. I personally described the nefarious anti-Catholic environment of a particular institution (about ten years ago) and the response from a ranking, senior member of the religious order was: "I doubt it's that bad." (exact words). Well, it was and is that bad.

I understand what you both are saying, but something still isn't adding up for me. Yes, I understand that there are always going to be bad apples, and there are always going to be the see-no-evil types. I guess what it is for me is that it doesn't seem that only "good" officials would have been needed to put a stop to it; I would think that all it would take was somebody to see an opportunity to play the hero by rooting out the menace - and it looks as though there would have been plenty of opportunities indeed. It also doesn't look like it would have been that hard, either, since most of these subversives seem like they were lit up like Christmas trees, based on the stories I've been hearing.

I don't know. I guess it's hard to know for sure what the real situation was, but it still doesn't make sense to me.
