My wife's sister married a Catholic, and to make sure that their son 
was sheltered from the immorality that is rampant in public schools, 
they sent him to a parochial school.  The plan worked.  He met a good 
Catholic girl and married her when she became pregnant their senior 
year.  After the birth of their son, the mother, who turned out to be 
addicted to drugs, abandoned the family, and my wife's sister 
assumed the duty of rearing her grandson because the boy's father 
had to work.  This boy is now attending the same parochial school, 
but after this year, he is going to attend a public school because of 
concerns that his father and grandfather have about what he is
being exposed to at the parochial school.  The father from his own
experience knows that attending a parochial school will not shelter a 
child from immorality, and from what he hears from his son, he has 
decided that the environment is probably worse than it was when he 
attended the same school.  By the way, my wife's nephew met 
another woman and married her.  He chose to have the marriage 
performed in his wife's church (Lutheran) and didn't even try to obtain 
an annulment of his first marriage, even though he obviously had better 
grounds to do so than did Joseph Kennedy.

I also forgot to mention that my Catholic daughter-in-law has given 
birth to only three children, the youngest of which is now fourteen.  
When the third one was born, she had a tubal ligation.  Why is it that I 
seem to meet only those Catholics who don't feel any need to conform 
to Catholic morality?

  You swim in small circles. I have been to both Catholic and public 
schools and I can assure you that students in public schools are every 
bit as sexually active, with the added advantage of a costlier (at 
tax-payers expense), and less-effective education.
