this just came out 5 days ago, and barely a hint of outcry.  (for god sakes the story hasn't been tweeted +1'd or commented on.

they revised the charter in June to reflect that kiddie porn was indeed bad and that they prolly shouldn't molest retards either.  like that crap needs clarification


"The revisions, adopted Thursday during the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Spring General Assembly in Bellevue, Wash., bring the charter in line with recent Vatican norms that include child pornography as a crime against church law and say abusing a mentally disabled person is equivalent to child abuse."

Wait, if I'm understanding this correctly the cops knew about it in 1998 too? JFC who do you call when the cops are in on the cover up?

I know the answer to why there is currently more outrage over OK_Cat's bro than over Catholic priest rape, but I'm not going to birther this.  This thread is for outrage, sign ideas and OK_Cat PI only.

What are you talking about? This has been all over the news. Maybe not nationally, but lets be honest Catholics raping kids is old news to the shock jocks at CNN and Fox News. This is a crazy story involving a college football program, cover up by the winningest college football coach of all time, and a charity set up to be a molestation dating service. Not something you see everyday (like Catholics raping kids).

Agreed.  I will refrain from addressing the non-OK_Cat'sokWithChildRapeStateU topic.

The problem with cases like this are the same problems as when famous people die.  Yeah, it's unfortunate and nobody is pleased by it, but a large percent of people get this really weird moral highground thing where they think that they are somehow involved in the case.  Like the headline from earlier in this thread.  Everybody knows exactly what it meant, but some people are in such a witchhunt mood that they twist it to make the newspaper look like they are child rape advocates.  Get a grip, people.

i'm friends with a woman that dated that guy, not involved in the case in any way.  Between you and me, you're the only one who has bitched about anything in this thread, my friend.

yeah i spent 5 minutes editing my quote last page. I gave up. well done.

[michigancat]

I would guess PSU wants Paterno to be quiet because of legal obligations. Seems like SOMEONE in the media could set down their pitchfork and recognize that. I guess PSU could have SAID that in their stupid release, but still.

PSU just cancelled Paterno's press confy

Guess they didn't think the media would abide by the "only Nebraska questions" rule.

Someone get word to the media to have them redirect their questions to @oklahomacat.

[theKSU]

OK_Cat's buddy got a job as an assistant coach by keeping his mouth shut about the kid raping FYI.  (If that hadn't been pointed out already)

[8manpick]

not to birther pit this whole thread.

But it seems like there is a great deal of righteous indignation (deservedly so) over this issue.  Including but not limited to sportsbybrooks grandiose interpretations of the incidents societal implications.  My question is basically why has the outcry over the catholic church's own sex abuse scandal seemed to pale in the level of outrage and widespread desire for justice.  

Hell so of you are seemingly prepared to sentence this ginger GA to life in prison, but wee weem to give a free pass to a religous institution that has experienced far worse abuses.  I mean hell the church abuse scandal spans continents and decades and affected literally thousands and thousands of people.  Google Catholic sex abuse and you get over 58 million hits.

Maybe we would care if priests coached football.

i mean eff it took the church until June to admit that child pornography maybe wasn't okay

http://www.appeal-democrat.com/articles/city-107674-kansas-abuse.html

p.s. not catholic and wasnt raped

We would care more if we knew the priests and bishops and cardinals involved in molesting/raping/covering up by name.  Most have heard of Jerry Sandusky, all of us know who Joe Paterno is.  The public doesn't know who Bishop X is or who Boy Scout Troop leader Y is.

[jmlynch1]

When will University Presidents realize that trying to cover this crap up is just the absolute worst course of action.

We're going to need a separate thread in the Pit so the experts can take this conversation to another level.

The media is clearly pissed we won't get a replay of this:
