Sex Education, Catholic Style

Last updated on: December 5, 2016 at 9:28 am By Rebecca Hamilton

The Vatican is launching a sex education program based on family and led by parents. This is very different from the secular notion of sex education which involves classes taught by Planned Parenthood, which is the nation’s number one abortion provider, in schools. This program, which is developing organically with input from parents, is based on Catholic teaching and is grounded in morality. Sex education, Catholic style, sounds like a great new-old idea.

Counting My Many Blessings in the Year of Cancer.

Today is Thanksgiving Eve. It’s time to count our blessings and pause in gratitude. I look back over the past year on this Thanksgiving eve and I am grateful that I was born an American. I am grateful that God placed me in the adoring hands of two parents who never placed limits on me because I was female, who didn’t try to form me into a half-person who knew her “place” at the back of the bus. I... Read more

If you love me you will obey my commandments. We don’t prove out love with obedience. Obedience is proof our love. We must always be known as sinners in great need whom God has graciously redeemed. Good doctrine is no excuse for disobedience. It is disobedience not to teach obedience. Read more

He stood in press conferences beside me when I demanded that the House leadership allow a vote on pro life legislation. He was a powerful support for the Day of Prayer to End Violence Against Women. He was a signatory of a letter signed by the... Read more
