A true education would assist children in learning how to know, love and serve God. It is a narrow road.
On the other hand, when the true purpose of education is ignored, the road becomes very wide and many souls are lost.
It's as simple as that.
The sex ed training is very similar. First the teacher creates an atmosphere that gives them the opportunity to teach where the kids will listen to them above that of any parent. Sometimes they just mention that parents can be old-fashioned. Other times they may get the kids to talk about how they don't get along with their parents. What ever way they do it, they have a captive audience.
The training is very subtle and the end effect is that neither the parent, nor the kid, nor the teacher is fully aware of the extent of the assault. However, both the parents and the kid know that something is not the same. They just can't put their finger on what happened. No one seems to be able to connect the dots that the kid was successfully disengaged from his mom and dad, his only true life support.
Soviet training is still with us today. Mentally and spiritually beating our youth nearly to death without leaving a mark.
If every single Catholic and/or Christian Freeper would send twenty mailings of this type of info with a note saying "here is your problem right now,Iwould hope that you will-----" much good would be accomplished.
Some suggestions as to recipients would include your diocesan newspaper,your bishop or cardinal,Catholic school parent/teacher associations at your local parish or another in your diocese,a parish council or two,a few local pastors.Don't worry too much about the core positions of the recipients,I am convinced that an attitude of "if the shoe fits,wear it" is about as effective as anything else.Be eclectic,be random,just do something. The truth is compelling but in this day and age many don't ever hear it.We need to do our best to at least take every oppurtunity to inform others of truth.
When I was in high school, we had at least three deviants on faculty. One was the women's gym teacher, who was a classic diesel, but as far as anyone could tell, she kept her nose clean and never did anything untoward with her girls. One was a peeping tom; when he got caught, it came out that he'd been busted for voyeurism in Denver years before, and the question came up, why didn't the School Board know this? Of course, that was the early 60's, and it wasn't as if there were a National Register of Criminal Offenders yet so that you could check to see if your neighbor had ever spit on the sidewalk or picked his toes in Poughkeepsie. The voyeur had a brief movie career, I was told, as an extra in The Last Days of Pompeii: he's the fellow who comes racing out of the Temple of Vesta clutching a Vestal Virgin in his arms (looting? just being helpful?), just in time to look up and see the entablature of the temple coming down on him. His voyeurism career ended in Louisiana, I was told later, with his being invited to leave the state.
The third teacher was the debate and drama coach, and I think he did try on some of the students by attempting to engage them intellectually with the old "Jesus was gay/John the Evangelist was gay" story......the old gay propaganda line to the effect that 50% of all the people you ever admired were gay somehow. Michelangelo, Lincoln, Jesus, Paul of Tarsus, and who have you got?
I don't know if the debate coach ever attracted the Wrath, but he was IMHO a prototype of the aggressive gay, and I never forgot it. When I encountered gays asserting to me that gays don't recruit, I automatically suspected they were lying consciencelessly for polemical effect, either on me, or on the omnipresent lurkers. Male sexuality doesn't care about the orientation of its next lay, we all know that -- I've known lesbians I wouldn't throw out of bed, but would instead unleash my own inner lesbian in response -- and the story of homosexual men, gods, and demiurges seducing boys is as old as humanity. Gay men lie like a rug on the subject of pederasty.
Think, KKK Klavern with average incomes in the upper five figures, stretch six, an average I.Q. of 135 backed up with a master's degree, a second-degree black belt in forensic nastiness, and impeccable taste in shoes.
If by evolution or if by God( just covering the bases, I know it is by God)all living things have means by which they reproduce. In the case of humans we have reproductive organs which luckily for us give great pleasure when put to their use.
Many today like to think that this wonderful pleasure is why these reproductive tools exsist. But they are wrong. The pleasure is a by-product.
Reproduction is the purpose. And those who seek simply pleasure miss the boat. And in the case of couples who for so many reasons can not reproduce, the pleasure is a way to make their loss a little less hard.
And for those who claim pleasure is the only goal; they must have incredibly small hearts.
It seems to me that some time back, american colleen said at her daughter's school (I believe her daughter was in 8th grade!) it was "cooler" to be bisexual than straight. Colleen, can you confirm?

<>Well and truly said<>
<> I live in Plam Beach County Florida. I LOVE living here for many reasons but politics isn't one of them. This State is supposed to have had a tsunami change in party affiliation? Good grief...I wish somebody would notify me of these things because I haven't seen evidence of it
<> Of COURSE there are Christians who have a disordered sexual attraction to others. Through organisations such as Courage, they can lead chaste lives. Be thankful your life wasn't burdened by that Cross. I am sure you have your own Cross to Bear, we all do. Reading out of Christianity those folks, like Courage members, is a very UnChristian thing to do.<>
