It is Friday, and, of course, time for all of the scandles to be released to the press, since it is the end of the newscycle.  I have yet to see anything from Snow, or, in this case, probably one of his propaganda minions.  However, the Chicago Diacese just settled with something along the lines of 80 former sex crime victims.  How did this go on so long?  What types of cultural institutions existed that could serve as mechanisms allowing this activity to continue without creating any publicity for so long?  What institutional knowledge had the Church developed in order to possibly thwart any major legal objections to this conduct?  What type of cultural conventions existed among its members which served as an ideological device that compelled the families of victims not to pursue any course with respect to the matter?

All good questions that an anthropologist or cultural sociologist would ask, but I have yet to see any take it on as of yet,
