Vatican 'unheeded' as classroom sex-ed threatens young...

"The parents must be very careful, My children, who you send your children to be taught from. Much evil is being developed in the schools in the name of sexuality. Why cannot we have our children pure of thought and mind? How can we, My children, when the teachers there are being taught to bring in sex education to your children? This belongs not in the schools, but in the homes. This is an obligation of the parents. It will only lead to much greater disaster by having this sex education in the school system." - Jesus, October 2, 1987

The Catholic Exchange reported on November 18, 2006:

Childhood ought to be an innocent time free of adult cares and concerns. Christ treasured innocence in children. He never commanded children to be like adults. He commanded adults to be like children — to accept the Kingdom of God as a child does. “Amen I say to you, whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God as a little child will not enter into it” (Mk 10:15).

Parents Should Be Attentive

At increasingly younger ages, childhood innocence is being shattered. This shattering happens through the Internet, magazines, television, radio, immodest dress, and now through “sex education” even in some Catholic schools, at most tender ages.

Sex education programs may be given names like “Safe Touch” and seem to place sex safety right next to bike safety as if the two were connected. Rome has warned us of the danger these programs pose in their document entitled The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality : Guidelines for Education within the Family (TMHS). The guidelines are issued by the Pontifical Council for the Family. The Council warns us that “In some societies today, there are planned and determined attempts to impose premature sex information on children” (TMHS 83).

Rome asks us to pay attention:

Parents should … be attentive to ways in which sexual instruction can be inserted in the context of other subjects which are otherwise useful (for example health and hygiene, personal development, family life, children’s literature, social and cultural studies, etc.). (TMHS 141)

The Value of Innocence

The Pontifical Council especially opposes programs which use graphic depictions of sexually explicit material through dramatized representation, mime or role playing, drawings, charts, models, and oral or written exams (TMHS 127).

Like Christ, Rome values innocence. For this reason Rome guides us to protect childhood innocence by ensuring that young children are not subjected to “direct” information about sexual topics. From about age five to puberty, a child is

in the years of innocence. This period of tranquility and serenity must never be disturbed by…unnecessary information about sex…. So as not to disturb this important natural phase of growth, parents will recognize that prudent formation in chaste love during this period should be indirect…. (TMHS 78)

What Rome called “this important natural phase of growth” is sometimes called the “latency period." It is a time of great intellectual growth during which a child learns to move from concrete operations in thinking to high levels of abstraction. It is a time during which the child’s rapidly growing body becomes adept at everything from catching and jumping to making delicate stitches and hitting the right piano keys. When the innocence of this time is not disturbed and a child’s talents are explored and developed, this time becomes golden, a psychic treasure that the adult person will draw upon in pleasant reverie until old age.

What about Protecting Them?

Despite the Council’s teaching, some Catholic instruction has been developed to teach young children “direct” and detailed information. The logic is that direct information will enable children to “protect” themselves, even at most tender ages. It is very true that children need to be protected from predators. But children can’t be expected to protect themselves. Expecting that of them would be placing adult responsibilities upon them — making them into adults and taking away their childhood.

The need to protect children from predators can not be used as a reason to sexualize young children. Rome warns us that

[A]t this [innocent] stage of development, children…cannot understand and control sexual imagery within the proper context of moral principles, and, for this reason, they cannot integrate premature sexual information with moral responsibility. Such information tends to shatter their emotional and educational development and to disturb the natural serenity of this period of life. (TMHS 83)

Responsibility for this topic must be returned to the parents. Parents must be encouraged in their teaching role, because if we reject this role, then any substitute will likely fail. “The role of parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to find an adequate substitute” (TMHS 23). Rome instructs us that the family is “suited to making acceptable without trauma the most delicate realities” of life (TMHS 64). The voice of Christ speaks through His Church. If we sincerely want to follow Christ, then in this matter — as in all matters — we ought to follow Rome.

"A foul situation has come about in the schools, both public and private. They are now teaching sex education, My children. And this is a debauchery of your young souls. Parents, are you so blind that you do not investigate, or ask your children what has happened in their classes today at school?" - Our Lady of the Roses, September 27, 1986
 

The amazing Bayside Prophecies...
https://www.tldm.org/directives/directives.htm
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

SEX EDUCATION IN THE SCHOOLS
"A foul situation has come about in the schools, both public and private. They are now teaching sex education, My children. And this is a debauchery of your young souls. Parents, are you so blind that you do not investigate, or ask your children what has happened in their classes today at school? Show you no interest as you go about the world gathering materialism, and seeking to break your home apart by husband and wife going in both directions; neither do they work together to hold the home together, but they work apart, many leaving the children astray by not having counsel over them."
    "My child and My children, I tell you now: All that I have told you in the past will come to pass. There will be great punishments set upon earth. The United States and Canada shall not escape. They have been actually sentenced by the Eternal Father to many calamities that will befall them very shortly. The Father in Heaven feels in this manner shall they bring many back to the fold. It is not an angry God Who speaks to you, My children, but a sorrowful One. All of our hearts in Heaven, and the hearts of the saints, are saddened at what is to come upon mankind." - Our Lady, September 27, 1986

SEX EDUCATION: OBLIGATION OF PARENTS
"My child, I do not wish to burden you any longer with the miseries upon earth. I wish to talk only a while, a little bit, about the children of earth, the young children. The parents must be very careful, My children, who you send your children to be taught from. Much evil is being developed in the schools in the name of sexuality. Why cannot we have our children pure of thought and mind? How can we, My children, when the teachers there are being taught to bring in sex education to your children? This belongs not in the schools, but in the homes. This is an obligation of the parents. It will only lead to much greater disaster by having this sex education in the school system." - Jesus, October 2, 1987

NO SEX EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS
"My child, I know much of this discourse distresses your heart, but you can imagine well--and I know you do, My child Veronica--the sorrow My Mother feels now that sex education has entered upon the school system. We say unto you, and I say to you, as your God, My children: Mothers and fathers of the world, you will not give over your children to be taught by demons! Satan has many loosed upon earth now. They enter into the bodies of any man, woman or child who has fallen out of grace; and they enter into the bodies of those who teach your children error.
    "It is the place and the will of the Eternal Father that the home shall be the safeguard for the children's souls--the mother, the father. But what can We expect, My children, when even the state of marriage, the sacrament of Marriage, is being destroyed slowly? We know all that is going on upon earth--living together without unions under God. No, My children, that shall also be destroyed in time; if not by sickness and death of the body, it will also be by sickness and death of the soul!
    "My children, it was never deemed by Heaven, nor the Eternal Father--as written in the good Book of life and love, your Bible, that man shall not cohort with man; man shall not cohabit with man, and man shall not seek diversion from his home by setting out to seduce another.
"My child, and My children, are there many strong homes left in the United States, Canada, and many homes of the world? No, My children, the standards have been lowered. And when the standards are lowered, satan takes over." - Jesus, June 6, 1987

SEX EDUCATION: PRIVATE DISCOURSE BETWEEN CHILDREN AND PARENTS
"The mind and the eyes are the mirror of the soul. Therefore, you will cast your eyes upon goodness and holiness and purity. You will not watch the infernal machine--your television. You will not read books of sex education, books that do not belong in your schools! They are a private discourse between children and parents.
    "The Eternal Father finds abominations and sins, soul - sins and matter of sins of the flesh, being committed because of the false teachers who now have set themselves in the House of God." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1975
