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a sexuality-education program based on Catholic moral principles that has been used in the country for 23 years has been replaced by a Ministry of Education program.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'.

Praying In Latin

Praying in Latin can be a daunting task, especially if you have never studied the language before. If you are interested in praying in Latin, but are not confident in your pronunciation or don't know where to obtain some of the prayers, there is hope. The Boston Catholic Journal has a webpage that has a number of common prayers written in both English and Latin and includes the Latin audio tracks of the prayers. At the top portion of the page you will find prayers written in both Latin and English. They include: [I've included the Latin Audio Links] • Signum Crucis  - The Sign of the Cross • Pater noster  - Our Father • Ave Maria  - Hail Mary • Gloria Patri  - Glory Be • Angelus  - The Angelus • Confiteor  - The Confiteor (I Confess) • Credo  - Nicene Creed (I Believe) • Salve Regina  - Hail Holy Queen • Gloria in excelsis Deo  - Glory to God in the Highest • Laudes Divinae  - Divine Praises • Regina Coeli  - Queen of Heaven • Veni Sancte Spiritus  - Come Holy

I will be returning soon

After a very long hiatus, I have decided I will start writing again. The stress of where I thought the Church was going and what I hoped was erroneous thinking on my part stopped me. I, honestly, was also a bit fearful to tread that ground, but I think it is time for me to write as I would like after many years. I will start sharing my thoughts again and not worry so much as I did in the past. God bless.

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.
