Birds of a feather: Boy Scouts and Catholic Church

The Los Angeles Times has the (ongoing) story on the Boy Scouts that like the Catholic Church, and in at least one instance assisted by a Catholic priest, have acted only to protect themselves and not the children. [Boy Scouts helped child molesters cover their tracks, files show].

It can't be denied that the children have been abused to by the officials of the Scouts and Church. They may not have been the pedophile, but by covering up the sexual abuse they set in motion more abuse. It was a tacit approval of the conduct when, e.g., they permitted child sexual abusers to resign and move on to their next lair. These officials are as responsible as the perpetrator.

They speak of morals and ethics - yet they have none themselves. It shouldn't be necessary that a law be in place to report pedophiles - it is a moral obligation. The pedophiles and their supporters are without honor. Maybe seppuku would be appropriate.

But despite the many revelations about the Scouts and the Catholic Church in the news coverage - the public is apathetic. And too - the editorials expressing outrage are missing. Yet we worry about child labor in China.
