Catholic Church furious over sex education in schools

The fact that the world population stands around 7 billion with some of the highest population centers in the poorest areas means nothing to the Catholics

The Catholics, who for centuries have cared not a bit about one’s ability to care and feed one’s children, is up in holy arms because New York City wants to put sex education back in the schools.

You see the Catholics are totally opposed to birth control in any form, and want everyone to have as many babies as they can, despite their environmental or financial circumstances. They believe that birth control is somehow against God’s law therefore it must not be practiced. In their centuries old archaic opinion sex is for procreation only, not for fun, unless you are a Catholic priest who likes little boys, then it’s OK.

The fact that the world population stands around 7 billion with some of the highest population centers in the poorest areas means nothing to the Catholics. The fact that the world is running out of means to feed the people means nothing to the Catholics. They want you to keep pumping out babies so as not to insult Jesus.

The hypocrisy of the Catholic church knows no bounds, and like most religious, their views reflect the dogma of the Bible, an ancient tome handed down over the centuries by ancient desert dwellers and scholars of the time. It matters not that the world has changed drastically, the Bible is law and the law is God.

So, when the City of New York decided it was time to educate their young about practicing birth control if they must have sex the Catholic church objected most strenuously.

Here’s the Newser summary:

Mandatory sex education is returning to public middle and high schools in New York City after nearly 20 years, and the Catholic church isn’t happy about it. A spokesman for the archdiocese says the mandate “allows the public school system to substitute its beliefs and values for those of the parents,” the New York Times reports. Public schools that rent space from the church may be forced to hold the sex education classes elsewhere. The new curriculum emphasizes abstinence, but the church objects to the fact that lessons on contraception will also be included, and plans to encourage parents to exercise their right to opt out of that part of the program. “We don’t say that about cigarettes,” an archdiocese lawyer says. “We don’t say, here’s a filtered cigarette—it’s better than a Camel.” A former Board of Education official says the church isn’t the same political powerhouse it was in the early ’90s, when a controversy over condoms scuppered mandatory sex education. “That choir has been silenced,” he tells the Wall Street Journal.

What do you think? Should we bow to the law of the Catholics and stop practicing birth control, or should we ignore their nonsense and use common sense?
