Very true and a point becoming obvious in the RC sex scandal as well. Finally an official in Philly was prosecuted and convicted
not for committing the crime of sexual abuse with children
but for covering it up for those under his supervision. It was purposeful and willful neglect of the innocent for the sake of an institution.
Until the elders and coworkers in the LC system are willing to squarely face the negative aspects of their own history the "new truth" will be the story inside their system. But because of forums like this their "new truth" will constantly be exposed for the lies that it is. And that is the power of having a communication medium they can't control and why they hate these kind of forums so much.
