Today has been a great day for me! It has been great because attention was given to the erroneous sexuality program in our Singapore Catholic Schools.

Catholic Schools in Singapore Forced to Present Condom-Promoting Sex-Ed Program


By Thaddeus M. Baklinski


SINGAPORE, September 30, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A report by Singapore Catholic News says that a sexuality-education program based on Catholic moral principles that has been used in the country for 23 years has been replaced by a Ministry of Education program. The new program, which is mandated for both secular and religious schools, heavily promotes the use of condoms to high school and junior college students.


"After 23 years of providing their sexuality-education programme in schools, Family Life Society (FLS) has failed to obtained approval from the Ministry of Education (MOE) to continue," the report states.


The Family Life Society is a non-profit organization that offers educational programs, marriage preparation courses, and resources to families and individuals, and is a member of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), and Human Life International (HLI) U.S.A.

St Patrick's objects to condom video

But HPB says removing it would affect integrity of sex ed programme

By Leow Si Wan & Cheryl Ong

WHAT IS SEX? That's one basic question that many teens are still asking after attending their schools' sex education programmes. A Straits Times poll of 300 teenage students shows Singapore still falls short when it comes to frank discussion of sex with our children. Saturday Special Report -- ST PHOTO: SAMUEL HE


FOR two years, St Patrick's School had been fighting with the Health Promotion Board (HPB) to have a segment of the board's compulsory sexuality education programme modified.

The Catholic school had wanted a video on the use of condoms removed.

But the HPB, which developed the programme, Breaking Down Barriers, together with the Ministry of Education (MOE), had refused on the grounds that doing so would affect the 'integrity of the programme'.

So the school has now sent a letter to its students' parents advising them to 'choose wisely' when they are given the option of opting out of the programme.

In the letter, sent last month and signed by principal Lucas Lak and head of department for pupil welfare Nicholas Seet, the school said 'all our attempts in the past two years for an adaptation of the programme to suit our needs have been rejected'.

Condoms made for 12 year olds. Sad day.

How sad are the times when the youth are openly corrupted. It is a travesty that young boys, aged between 12-14, will no longer be led down the road of self-restraint, but will now have a means to give into their base passions. Condoms provide only a means to self-gratification and a path to incomplete love. Sadly, these youth will be given this illusion as a means to an end and will be deluded into thinking that this action is love or will be trapped in the sin of lust. Have people really given up on the young and abandoned them to their lustful desires at their most vulnerable time, when they are at peak of the battle their hormones and are discovering life? Instead of children being taught the dignity and honor of their bodies, they are being taught how to defile it. It is truly a sad day. Read the excerpt from the article printed in  Mail Online.

Fighting for Christmas

-
Et Verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis (And the Word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us). This is a great demonstration of the love and humility possessed by Our Lord, Jesus Christ, yet I find myself walking the streets of Singapore surrounded by an endless barrage of sales and secular symbols of Christmas. How my heart laments over the disregard of a such a momentous sacrifice bestowed upon man by a loving God who has found himself replaced by idols of materialism and capitalism. Our great Creator humbled himself to come into human form and as if this action were not enough, He came into this world in the most humble of circumstances; the son of a carpenter, born in a manger, destined to lead a life of simplicity. Being the King of Kings, He could have easily come into this world in a prominent social family, but He chose to lead by example. Humility and charity would also be demonstrated by the Virgin Mary, His most blessed and chaste mother. Their...

A Self-Righteous Pharisee Complaining

-
Life is quite amusing. It becomes all the more hilarious when people use terms and words which they don't truly comprehend. For example, pharisee. Yes, that is right, pharisee. I had the privilege of someone, in not so many words, say that I sound like a pharisee; however, this person does not know me and the discussion, which was transpiring on a mutual friend's Facebook page, was about Eucharistic reception on the tongue and hand. My friend, who shall remain nameless, shared an experience that occurred and his feelings about Eucharistic reception, and of course, a discussion ensued. The reason the discussion progressed to a degree was due to the fact that we cannot receive the Eucharist on our tongue. This has been a diocese wide declaration due to H1N1; however, I made my opinion known that I felt this wrong not only because of the recent letter [you can see the letter here: http://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2009/11/it-is-not-licit-to-deny-communion-on.html ] that has bee...
