I would suggest that this "survey" shows instead how any determined statistician--whether radical or reactionary--can find facts and an interpretation which will fit his predetermined ideas.

As for himself, he said, "I am giving up proving my orthodoxy to the Vatican. I have, now, no further desire to do so." Though loyal to basic church doctrine, and to the church's role as a caretaker of Western civilization, Illich is convinced that social reform in Latin America must come from outside the church. Consequently, he will remain at Cuernavaca -even though that means continuing in a lay status while observing the celibacy...
