The Problem With Sex Education

Have you ever wondered why teens plunge deeper into the abyss of immorality despite the "sex education" taught in schools or at home by parents? Despite the so-called awareness on sexual ethics and education, the modern world degenerates rapidly in this respect. What are the sex educators doing wrong?
Sex education is the instruction on issues relating to human sexuality including emotional relations and responsibilities, human sexual anatomy, sexual activity, safe sex etc.
It is true that some earnest and plain words with regard to sexual matters should be included within a complete education. But to discover the right limit and tact, one must be quite clear on the following points;
1.) The foundation of all sound education in sex must consist in "distracting the mind" from sexual matters, not directing it towards them.
2.) The problem of moral preservation in this sphere is a question "power" far more than of "knowledge". That is to say that "knowing" is not enough, they must be some "action" which must control the impulses of the flesh.

It is on these two foundations that the traditional Christian education on sex has been built up.
Another problem points to the fact that these modern educators find it difficult to appreciate the value of christian method of caring for souls and also the value of old truths. As a result, their 'unchristian' methods become to the teens, a trajectory to all forms of immoral vices. Education in sexual matters means the education of the nature by the spirit, in other words, in taking care of the soul we tutor or control the sexual impulses of the  body. This ethic, unfortunately, is not possible or accepted on the modern basis of materialism or naturalism, a theory these sex educators subscribe to. Is it then a surprise that in their proposal on education regarding sex, we hardly hear words such as chastity, self-denial etc. These can only come from religion alone.
The indispensability of the Christian ethic would be recognized, if these modern educators realize that the human nature, in relation to these sexual impulses, should be effectively disciplined and socialized i.e. being taught as an acceptable method to students.

Be Virtuous ... Be Catholic.

Galileo and the False Accusations against the Catholic Church

Image
The Catholic Church being divine in institution is human in its instrumentality, therefore one would not expect its members to be perfect. As Ernest Hull S.J. puts it, "The Church is the school of the imperfect." If all men were perfect, there would be no need instituting a church. If there exist cases where the ever Church passed judgement in error, the case of Galileo is definitely NOT one of them. Sadly the Church is falsely accused, not just by Protestants but also by "Catholics" who tend to deny the dogma of Papal Infallibility and the papal impostor John Paul II falsely called "saint"  didn't seem to help matters in 1992. Although the Body of Christ - the Church - endures a litany of accusations regarding this issue, this article will refute the following errors: 1.) Galileo was persecuted by the Church for teaching Heresy, 2.) Considering the Galileo case, the Pope can never be infallible, 3.) This was a case of  "Science vs Theolo...

Deliver Them From Francis!

Image
Recently, Nope Francis  called for a change in translation of a phrase about temptation in the Lord's prayer. His suggestion was to use "do not let us fall into temptation" instead of "lead us not into temptation." According to him it should be, "Do not let me fall into temptation because it is I who fall, it is not God who throws me into temptation and then sees how I fall." He affirmed that "lead us not into temptation" is not a good translation. To a liberal or Novus Ordo Catholic, there is nothing wrong with the suggestion; but on the contrary, there is a problem. First, from the above statement, Francis is implying that God does not lead a soul to temptation. Secondly, his statement expresses  a total disregard, if not disbelief, in the teachings of the Catholic Church regarding the aforementioned phrase. Before stating my points, the following must be made clear. 1.)Temptation is simply a solicitation to evil, hence one can be...

Sins Against the Holy Ghost - Not Forgiven! - explanations.

Image
In giving explanations I will only stick to the basics , the reason being that I have no intention to present a theological treatise(of which I'm not even capable of.) The aim is to dispel the falsehoods and half-truths circulated in the Vatican II or Novus Ordo sect. In Matthew 12:32, it is written; "who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven either in this age, or in the next."  The Catholic Church presents the following as sins against the Holy Spirit: 1. Despair 2. Presumption 3. Impenitence 4. Obstinacy 5. Resisting the Known Truth 6. Envy of our brother's spiritual good Looking at the  above mentioned sins, one cannot say that he is entirely innocent of these sins. People sometimes lose hope in God's mercy (despair) while others presume and some others envy their brother's spiritual good. Does this mean that they have sinned against the Holy Spirit? Is all hope is lost for those who - still alive - has blasphemed against the H...
