St Patrick’s College rector Neal Swindells
doesn't “like the word abstinence”(Schooling up on sex ed, September 9)
but if “some students are gay” - which considering the brouhaha over LGBT
'rights' they're quite likely to think, but at that age can hardly know - at a
Catholic school they like heterosexuals must be taught abstinence.
His school teaches “the IUD, the pill and
emergency contraceptives”. Swindells knows that’s opposed
to Catholic doctrine and in fact, far from sanctioning
it, Pope Francis has praised the Church for maintaining that
opposition.
The students seem to have been taught that
“the greatest commandment” is to treat others as you would like to be treated.
In fact the greatest commandment is to “love the Lord your God”.
Swindells says guilt is something “the
Catholic Church imposed in the 1960s and 70s”. ‘Guilt’ is the pejorative now
pinned on that spontaneous, natural feeling of regret for wrongdoing which has
been around since Adam and Eve, and for which the Catholic Church alone supplies
the remedy, in the confessional.
St Patrick’s Board of Proprietors and parents
need to be aware that the college staff appear to have abandoned their Catholic
beliefs. What they’re teaching is apostasy.
