	Mexican Bishop Links Pornography, Sex Education to Scandal Catholic Culture April 19, 2010 http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=6066 A Mexican bishop said on April 15 that pornography and sex education have contributed to a climate in which clerical abuse can take place. "If on television and on the Internet and in so many media outlets there is pornography, it is very difficult to stay pure and chaste," said Bishop Felipe Arizmendi Esquivel of San Cristóbal de Las Casas in Chiapas. "With so much invasion of eroticism, sometimes it's not easy to stay celibate or to respect children." "When there is generalized sexual licentiousness, it is more common to have pederasty." Bishop Arizmendi also criticized sex education programs, prompting a rebuke from the nation's education secretary.
