Fair question

Does Catholic celibacy contribute to child sex abuse?

"With the Roman Catholic Church facing a series of paedophilia scandals, some observers have begun to ask whether the tradition of celibacy in the priesthood has contributed to child abuse. The BBC's Paul Henley raises the question with Catholics in Cologne."

Similarly, does teaching contribute to child sex abuse? Does being a member of the general population contribute to child sex abuse? Seeing as the rate of child sex abuse is the same, or higher, in these areas, as well as others, these, too, are fair questions.

Does the practice of journalism contribute to muck-raking and smear campaigns? Another fair question. Just asking...
