If Ontario parents want to know what the sex education may look like once it gets to the classroom, they should seriously consider what has already happened in Chicago Public Schools.

Last year some parents in Chicago were shocked when they found out the kind of explicit sex information their children would get in grade 5 classrooms. The contents of the program included female condoms and how to extend sex and increase pleasure by using lubrication. Parents who became aware of the graphic content were shocked that this age inappropriate curriculum was even developed.

It’s one thing to present accurate sexual information and quite another to stir the curiosity of innocent children about sexual gratification.

Never before in Church history have nearly 500 priests released an open letter asking Church leaders to defend traditional Catholic teaching on marriage and human sexuality.  The priests from Wales and England did this as the Vatican prepares for the Synod on the Family this October 2015. The letter was written in response to controversial suggestions at the last meeting by some cardinals to change Gospel teaching on marriage, sexuality, repentance and grace.

Yesterday another protest took place against the sex education curriculum. It was held in front of the Verdi Hospitality Centre located in Mississauga. This was the second event in two days organized by the Home Owners Welfare Association and led by Jotvinder Sodhi. The night before a rally took place at the Peel District School Board and it was followed by a presentation given to the trustees by Mr. Sodhi on behalf of the hundreds of parents present at the school board meeting.

In preparation for the Synod on the Family there was a working document issued by the Vatican called, "The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization." It makes this statement regarding the parental responsibility for living and teaching the faith to children:

Christian education in the family is first achieved when children see their parents witness to the faith.

The Annunciation of the Lord should be one the greatest feasts in the liturgical calendar. Without the mystery of the Incarnation we would have no Christmas child and no Easter cross. We cannot celebrate life if don’t at first say, “Yes” to its conception. The Incarnation proclaims to the world the divine mystery of salvation. When Mary responded to the Angel Gabriel with an obedient “Yes,” she built for every human being a spiritual road to heaven.

Have you heard of Bartolo Longo? Do you know anything about his life? If you want to know more about defeating the occult, turning from wayward ways and then miraculously coming to God and the Blessed Mother, read on. Bartolo Longo lived from 1841 to 1926. He was for a time a Satanist priest who for the grace of God returned to the faith and embraced the truth. He ended up joining the third order Dominican and gave his life to the Virgin Mary and the Rosary.

The Stations of the Cross (Via Crucis, Latin for Way of the Cross) is a devotion for the faithful to make a journey of prayer by reflecting on the final events of Christ's suffering and death. The stations consist of fourteen "stations" or "events" in the Passion of Christ, including his condemnation before Pilate, his scourging, his journey to Calvary and his death and burial.

Yesterday March 19, 2015, the Catholic Civil Rights League (CCRL) released this good news statement on the Supreme Court of Canada's ruling regarding religious rights of parents and students at Loyola High School in Montreal, Quebec. The decision is a small victory for religious freedom. We thank the League for the good work they do to defend and promote Catholic belief in the public square.

A Response to a Teacher Blogs

In this post, I would like to respond to a recent entry by a teacher and a former student from my teaching days at De La Salle College here in Toronto. He says it was forty years ago. Where have all those years gone? But I digress.

For Ontario's educational system to truly be built on diversity and freedom, parents must retain the right to choose the education they want for their children. A strong and viable public educational system must reflect the beliefs and cultural values of the parents.

The current battle in Ontario over the proposed sex education curriculum to be implemented for the fall of 2015 stems from the fact that the government wants to impose its views on all Ontarians.

1 Timothy 2:1-5
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings should be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
