The comparisons are inescapable.
We just buried Joe Paterno, the Lion King of Happy Valley.
And at the same time his amazing legacy included the stain of his last weeks at the helm of the Penn State football program, which operated under the cloud of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal.
This morning I woke up to the news that former Philadelphia Archbishop Caredinal Anthony Bevilacqua had died.
And again I cannot remove his long service to the church from the questions that hover over his administration and how it handled questions of child sexual abuse by priests.
I have no doubt that both were very good men.
I also have no doubt that both will continue to be remembered for what they did did not do when it comes to preventing child sexual abuse.
