At Penn State, a month after the revelation of a sex-abuse scandal, four top executives have been ousted. In the American Catholic hierarchy, a decade after the exposure of hundreds of sex-abuse cases, just one bishop has resigned.

I was wondering when someone was going to point out this glaring contrast. Now I wonder how many people who are frothing at the mouth against Paterno are also Catholic apologists (including indifference or trivialization) for similiar abuses from Catholic clergy. Quite a few, I think - rural PA is heavily Catholic.

Well, a couple problems there.

None of the bishops who were involved in any of the sex abuse cases are still bishops.

So yes, the house has been swept clean. This article is in error.
