Comparing Penn State to the Catholic Church

Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 10:14 AM

You have to read some Christianist rhetoric about temptation and sin, but he's right.

Big difference between the two-- the catholics promoted the people who protected the perverts, including one who was promoted to pope. Not one firing has occurred so far for any of the priest abuse.

Penn State has done right so far by firing people, and I don't think they've reached the end of their house cleaning...

Yeah, Penn state is doing the right thing NOW!!! When all this shit is out in the open and it's eveyone's business! Penn state wasn't so keen on doing the right thing ten years ago when that filthy son-of-a-bitch Sandusky was busy raping children in the shower and everyone around him was protecting his sorry ass!

Huge similarities b/t Penn and the church, i say.
