joe offer is absolutely right that the catholic chirch and the boy scouts have a lotn in common, but he's desd wrong on conclusions. both followed a policy of hiding criminal activity and coecing and attacking the abused and using every back channel use of power and influence to stop their offenders being exposed.

one of the conclusions from the perversion files i saw , was one lawyer said he was astonished how the boy scouts were able to manipulate local authoritues to protect the guilty. and he said there should be criminal child endangerment charges against these abusers. this happened recently against msgr willima lynn for covering up preistly abuse and posting abuser priests to new posts without warning the parents of the new post. he was convicted of indictable criminal child endangerment . people are really fed up with the cover up experts getting aay with the worst abuses and that is just the beginning.

there was a great canadian investigatibe report on the boy scouts not informing new troups of abuses that leaders did in old troups.

frankly no good person can trust these people running the scouts and catholic church. they have shown over and over that they will use any tactic and use any illegal activity to protect their heirarchy and sacrifice the children.

lets hope there arte many many law suits now that the cover up files are out in the open. these criminals do not repspond to anything else.
