Scotland Weighs Forcing Catholic Schools to Teach Same-Sex Marriage, Contraception
The Cardinal Newman Society ^ | 1/14/14 | Matthew Archbold

Posted on 01/14/2014 7:56:39 PM PST by marshmallow

Government ministers of Scotland are demanding that Catholic schools must be forced to teach students about same-sex marriage and about sex clinics which provide contraception, according to The Scottish Express.

A government spokesperson reportedly said, “Denominational schools, like any other local authority schools, are subject to inspection by Education Scotland on the quality of their learning and teaching.”

Michael McGrath, director of the Scottish Catholic Education Service (SCES), was quoted as saying, “The SCES has encouraged the Scottish Government to move beyond the grudging tolerance which this draft and the original guidance showed towards the right of Catholic schools to follow Church guidance when teaching about sexual health and relationships, including marriage.”

I hope the Catholic schools tell them exactly what they can do with that

That’s why public schools in America were invented in the first place...
To compete with the Catholics.

If it has to be taught it must be unnatural.

Simple question: Do these schools take money from the state? If yes, than they are government schools and their real God is the state. If not, they should fight this tooth and nail even if it means organizing schools underground, directing home education, or closing in protest.

Just how sick has the culture gotten? Scotland at one time provided some of the best Christian teachers.

That will never happen. After it’s finished with Christianity and Judaism, leftism will go after Islam. Leftism is worse than Islam.

Scottish freedom lovers immigrated to the US. What’s left in Scotland is the marxists.

The Soviet system started with, among other things, abolition of the "bourgeois institution of marriage". Homosexuality as such was probably too much a visceral taboo to try, but on-demand divorce and abortion became the norm in the early Soviet days. It is a couple of decades later that Stalin realized that turning the Russians into rifle-carrying hippies is not good for world domination and gradually the soviet Union became as we remember it in the 50's through 80's, a socially conservative society.

Thank you for passing your post along. Very informative.

I caught this and it reminded me of AHOTUS:

...created to fit the speeches of the leaders who mention fake numbers.

The good news is that the sooner it comes, the more likely the USA gets a needed wake-up call in time to make a difference here!

No force will be necessary here. "Common Core" will get the job done, and some bishops are already forcing it upon their diocesan schools.

Well, in the Soviet Bloc they didn't like homos either. Still don't.

It is worthy to note, that Stalin for the most part was very much a conservative in these kinds of matters, and that certainly was a big factor in how the Soviet Union, even after his death, was for the most part a fairly conservative society in that respect.

Many of the original Bolsheviks were much more Libertine, of course Stalin inevitably dealt with all of them.

I don't say this to defend Stalin, who of course was a monster.

I find it interesting that Stalin would be so insistent on a peripheral moral behavior of the Soviet people. A semblance of morality without any interior relation to the Author of morality. After years of experimentation he knew that it was better to at least appear to be moral. Here is a quote by him:

America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.

Maybe they could teach that “here’s what the devil tries to get humans to do” in order to fulfill the government dictates.
