The Holy Synod of the ŒCOCW strongly admonishes the leadership of Penn State University regarding the highly publicized child sex abuse scandal. Of particular concern is the length of time a consciously constructed cloud of silence was maintained by university personnel in the misplaced interest of protecting the image of the university as opposed to the mental and social well being of the innocent victims.

In the long lasting shadow of the equally publicized Catholic priest sex abuse scandal, the officials of Penn State University has absolutely no defensible reason for not having voluntarily addressed this most sensitive of violations of innocence. Consequently, the ŒCOCW unequivocally supports the application of stern measures by local authorities and the U.S. Justice Department in response to these criminal activities. Additionally, the ŒCOCW calls for parties involved to be brought to justice before the public tribunal as a demonstration of complete non-tolerance for all perpetrators of such criminal acts.

The Holy Synod of the ŒCOCW views the inaction of Penn State University officials as an extreme failure of ethical principles and a violation of the public trust placed in its hands by these innocent children and their families.
