The headline reads: Young
people ill-informed, say officials
Health experts alarmed by increase in cases of gonorrhea
Armed with the knowledge that some sexually transmitted infections are
on the rise in this province, health promotion consultants are saying that, in
addition to taking care of their physical, mental and nutritional health, young
people need to pay more attention to their sexual health and well-being.
Anita Forward and Donna Dawe are health promotion consultants with
Eastern Health.
It’s well documented, they say, that condom use is one of the best ways
of reducing your risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and
preventing pregnancy.
Looks like their program is failing miserably. The more
condoms go out, the more STD’s go up. Someone please help!
Attention Catholic Bishops and Priests (and other Christian
leaders who still believe in biblical chastity): Here’s an opportunity waiting to be
captured! Why not begin to share the Church’s teaching on chastity
with your congregations? You know, a little bit here and a little bit there, a
little on this Sunday and a little on that Sunday, in your bulletins and in
your homilies. This could really help out government agencies like Eastern
Health who are terribly overworked and under-financed.
Just think, you get to cover topics like masturbation,
contraception, fornication, homosexuality, pornography [just like when you had your own schools]. You have no idea how
this will boost interest in Mass.
Oh wait… I forgot, you’ve been a little shy on sexual mores
and the Moral Law…
…since like
1968.
Disgraceful.
Cowardly.
