[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything in that post could be true, and at the same time it could be true that there was some rampant misogyny that went unchecked. It’s not necessarily one or the other. It’s that some boys can get away with it, despite the school’s claims of building character, that’s the problem.

The Catholic Church has done immense good around the world over the last hundred years. That doesn’t negate AT ALL the appalling way they handled sexual abuse by priests. Prep doesn’t get to focus on the positive things while ignoring the horrible behavior of some of their “finest” men.[/quote]

I agree and as I read the comments to the article the response was to denigrate and whine some more.  I grew up Cathoic in another part of the country.  There was always a group of boys that got away with the type of behavior at issue in the hearing.  I was always struck by these families that would show up in Church on Sunday, perfectly dressed, participating in the outward rituals (altar boy, lector, etc.) and yet participate in behavior that was completely inconsistent with what was taught. Some people dealt with it by thinking that confession gave them a "clean slate".  That is not how confession is supposed to work (free pass) or how it is taught, but some folks seemed to think that was how it worked.  Fortunately most families and boys were not like that.  Wealth seemed to go along with that behavior so maybe that was part of it.[/quote]

Dragging around old grudges from some other place?

My guess is you don’t know anything about who goes to Prep and what they are like.

You have a stereotype in your head from your youth.

Don’t like Prep?

No one cares.[/quote]
