A Yahoo From Yahoo Opines About Hush Money

Mr. Riggio seems to advocate The Friends of Roman Polanski philosophy of crimes against children. There is no abuse if the abuser is politically correct, or a member of a teachers union.

Public school teachers offend at a much higher rate than Catholic priests. The following quote is from a Washington Post article, see the link below;

"There are 3 million public school teachers nationwide, most devoted to their work. Yet the number of abusive educators _ nearly three for every school day speaks to a much larger problem in a system that is stacked against victims."

"COMMENTARY | The Catholic Church is hammering so many nails into its own coffin that even an outside observer like me is left shaking his head at the ridiculous behavior of its leadership. The Vatican (generally meaning "the Pope") is angry with nuns for their behavior, and Cardinal Dolan from the New York Archdiocese is embroiled in yet another pedophile priest scandal. Let's look at how the two situations prove the Catholic Church is on its last legs.
Starting close to home we have Cardinal Dolan's little fiasco. It just came to light he might have been part of a plan to pay off child-molesting priests 20 grand each to leave the priesthood quietly, according to a CNN report."
