Breaking News! … Vatican Dispatching Cardinal Bernard Law To Penn State

Sources tell ‘The Garlic’, that after an all-night session, Pope Benedict XVI is dispatchingArchpriest of the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major Bernard Law to Penn State, to offer The Vatican’s assistance in the burgeoning sexual abuse scandal.

Last night , Pennsylvania State University President Graham Spanier, and the school’s legendary football coach Joe Paterno were fired by the Board of Trustees, over their handling of former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of, at least, eight young boys.

“Lights were burning all night … Cars coming-and-going,” offered one observer.

In a brief statement, Pope Benedict XVI said he “sympathized” with the Penn State officials, and is offering the Vatican’s “complete playbook” on how to obfuscate and deny any knowledge or responsibility for sexual abuse.

“We know, and especially with this happening at a university, the Hippie Culture of the 1960′s is to blame .”

The Pope added that “Bernie Law is just the guy they need at this time.”

Unconfirmed reports say that Law is authorized to offer any, and all, Penn State officials caught up in the sexual abuse scandal, sanctuary
at The Vatican, where they can benefit from the lack of Extradition, from any criminal charges that may come from this case.
