It has been a good week for sexually abused children.

It is not a cure; it is just justice. Sandusky's convictions are the tip of the iceberg of how many other children has he pluked.

The next conviction for covering up priest abusing children by moving then to another parish full of fresh meat is the esteemed Monsignor William Lynn, of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Pure scum of the Earth.

It is about time.

I see the newly elevated Archbishop of Baltimore is leading a crusade to kill PPACA called Fortnight for Freedom. I think Sister Simone Campbell beat him to the punch with Nuns on a Bus.

Regarding the Sandusky situation........are they going to hold accountable the university officials who knew what Sandusky was doing but did nothing about it?

It's interesting how this got considerably less press than the Sandusky affair. Is it a reluctance to go after the Catholic Church?

Criminally? I don't know. In civil courts? Bank on it.

I wonder if the NCAA will strip the school of their football program? I can't decide whether this is a sports issue and falls under NCAA oversight or not.

I see it as outside the NCAA jurisdiction. I don't see any good reason to further expand the NCAA's authority. It is a body inclined toward overreaching as it is. (Geez, I'm sounding like a libertarian.)

That is not to say that heads should not have rolled/ should roll within the athletic department, and within other offices in the university charged with oversight. We can also rest assured that this will create plenty of employment opportunities for lawyers.

D-ray, those univeristy officials who did nothing while knowing what was happening..........wouldn't they be mandated reporters? Seems to me they could be charged with something if that were the case.......no?

It's a damn shame that old Joe didn't get to go to the "pokey" for his last years for being just like the priest above and covering up for his long time pedophile friend.

If I read it correctly the A.D. and Vice Pres are being looked at right now....

I think Sister Campbell may be giving the Ratzinger Boy's Club heartburn.
