In State College, people walk by "Inspiration," a mural that depicts Joe Paterno, fired over the sex assault case of Jerry Sandusky.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

Roy Peter Clark: Legendary Penn State coach Paterno is like a mythical paternal figure

He says loyalty to him holds echoes of Catholic, Italian-American reverence for pope

He says perhaps Sandusky sex abuse hushed for fear it would stain soul of Penn State "church"

Clark: Time to dismantle this "church" and stop protecting its fathers from their sins
