Is former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky Catholic?

Does anyone know (and provide a link) to what religion Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno are?

Are they Catholic?

    Why does their religion make a difference here? U think catholics don't find their practices bad? They did what pontious pilate did to christ. That's not right. Yes, I know what the catholic church is doing. I don't stand for it, but I do understand it. It's a necessary evil. The church is in short supply of clergy, so they excuse what the re mainlyclergy members do. Because the supply is short, but the demand is great. Even if they are catholic, I ddon'tthink they did what they did because of the no judging thing either. Joe Paterno did what he did to keep his hands clean(he did follow pprotocol, and, he also knew, if he did the right, moral thing(as he preaches to his players), he would've lost a good assistant coach. So, he...took one for the team. Jerry Sandusky? Well....I think he got off by victimizing the helpless. Much like abusive spouses n parents do. When it's adults n kids, it's not solely about sex, it's deeper, it's more about control and obedience. He's been doing this for seven years, so all the kids before, just endured for the love of the team, for the love of a guy who took kids off the streets n provided a home for them, etc. I'm glad someone came fwd, finally...and it' sad that so many put footfall ahead of kids' safety. But as u saw MANY students rioting outside paterno's home because they're angry he got fired, then u also know the power of the game, and the charisma of a good coach who would go all the way for his team(and a good paycheck), but only went half way...for some poor defenseless kids. Religion ddoesn'tplay a role in this.

    Plus, if u really wanted to know this, u would've googled it or something, instead, u ask that sort of q here, so what did U really want to know? their religion, or their motive for covering up mmalice Preachers of many other denominations n faiths do this too, but the catholics have always come under fire, so u pick on what's easy.

    Oh please! Seriously?

    Sandusky is Methodist. Paterno is Catholic. Are either of them actually practicing their faith? That would be a better question.

    I was raised Methodist, and my pastor from the 1970s was arrested and did jail time in the 1990s on 19 counts of child sexual abuse. A married man with children. He abused on boy for 4 years starting when he was just 11 years old.

    Did you know that there is more child sexual abuse in the Protestant faiths as a whole, than in the Catholic Church?

    Why use this horrific situation to attack the Church?

    He belongs to some Pentecosatal church. But he was also american, does that mean all americans are pedophiles? He was also human, does it mean all humans are pedophile?
