I am an honorably discharged Marine Corps veteran, currently going to school full-time. I served from 2009 to 2013. Can I do what you do? What/who do I need to know?

allowing priestly marriage may reduce sex abuse cases

Anglican Ordinariate Catholic priests and Eastern Rite Catholic priests actually are allowed to be married.

Also, there is no correlation between celibacy and sexual misconduct — most sex abusers are married or otherwise engaged in "normal" relationships.

I think the problem has more to do with the "wrong types" being allowed to enter diocesan seminaries in the 20th century. Simply put, these scandals just aren't taking place in traditionalist communities.

According to Hofstra University researcher Charol Shakeshaft, it is estimated that public school teachers commit child sex abuse at 100 times the rate of Catholic clergy in America, and are similarly protected by school boards and teachers' unions.

Knowing these facts, do you support the abolition of public education? Why or why not?
