LETTER TO THE EDITOR ------- A CATHOLIC TRADITION SPECIAL
"More souls go to Hell for sins of the flesh than for any other reason.”
(Our Lady of Fatima)
Dear
Faithful in Christ,
Ask
yourself: “If I don’t become
involved, who will?” For the sake of the innocence of children,
call,
write your bishop and ask him why there is a safe environment program
in his diocese. To quote from a brochure of the National Coalition of
Clergy and Laity (NCCL): “Classroom sex-ed is objectively evil. It is a
perverse method of instruction which makes public and open those things
which by nature are private, intimate or shameful. Classroom sex-ed
leads children to sin. There is hardly a family in the western world
not endangered by this plague. After years of a ‘sexual
catechesis’
substituting for Faith and Morals, Catholics are seeing the evil
effects of classroom sex-education, and realizing that without pure
children, hope for a genuine Catholic Restoration is illusory.
Unfortunately, the enemies of the Church understand the issue all too
well. When asked after Roe vs. Wade how
abortion could be made secure
in America, Allan Guttmacher, former president of Planned Parenthood,
responded: ‘Sex-Education.’”
A rose
by any other name is still a
rose. It's still sex-ed. There is no reason to ever go into detail. The
teaching of authentic sexual morality is certainly licit. Classroom
sex-ed should never be allowed in schools.
Finally,
to quote Pope Pius Xl's
encyclical Divini illius Magistri: “Much
more pernicious
are those
entirely naturalistic ideas or teachings which invade the field of
education in that most delicate matter of purity of morals and
chastity…”
Peter Yzaguirre
PS. At
the very least, parents should ask for an "opt
out" clause for their children.
Web Master's Note: The
US Conference of Catholic Bishops has instituted a Safe Environment
Programs in response to the sexual abuse crisis. However sex ed is part
and parcel of almost every diocesan goal in re a "safe environment."
The crisis, is the rationale to continue destroying the souls of
millions of children. The laity in the pew is told that it is all
about sex abuse prevention. This is on the one hand. On the other, if
you type in sex ed in the search window, you are taken to various
documents, all supporting sex ed. To quote another of the Bishops'
documents, emphasis theirs:
"Education “is first and
foremost” in ... equate safe environment training with sex education or teaching in human ...
equate safe environment training with sex
education or teaching in human sexuality ... " [Source:

When you
access the USCCB web site section on Safe Environment it looks like it
is only about sex abuse, which is only part of the story. For years
Catholic schools have indoctrinated children with modern sex ed, rather
than formation in the virtues. for purity. Modern techniques of
naturalistic instruction is nothing less than sex abuse itself! Which
is why we got here in the first place and why things are not better.
The loss of innocence! When a child's inborn purity and modesty is
messed with, his development as designed by God for every person is
derailed in ways we are only just beginning to comprehend. "Sex ed"
should not be part of any school curriculum or agenda, period!

co-ordinator with contact information, click HERE.
Tell the
Bishop just say no to sexual perversion and indoctrination of
naturalism in our Catholic schools and CCD programs. It is difficult
for contracepting parents to do so; and the Bishops? Very few ever
preach on the mortal sin of contraception or instruct their priests to
do so!
