Strengthened sexual consent education is now part of the Australian curriculum for all schools, and while non-government schools have some discretion in its implementation, the head of Catholic Education Tasmania has criticised the way consent is included in the national curriculum.
Is anyone shocked Catholics wouldn’t want to teach consent.
When the most powerful person in your organisation in this country gets convicted for paedophilia (never mind that he got off because the High Court decided the separation between triers of fact and triers of law is irrelevant), of course you wouldn’t want young people to know what consent means.
Oh, and also, leave it to Catholics to not know the difference between amoral and immoral. They keep saying it’s amoral as though that’s a bad thing. Amoral merely means it doesn’t interact with morals at all. It is completely neutral on the question of morality. It’s by definition not a bad thing, even if you subscribe to Catholic morals.
Also while we’re at it, how about you learn your own sources?
It is the long-held teaching of Christ that sexual activity is only legitimately expressed within the loving relationship between husband and wife
When? When did Jesus Christ say that? There are many passages you could point to in the bible that could be interpreted to forbid sex outside of marriage. But please, Mr Gaskin, show me when Jesus himself said it, if that’s what you’re going to be claiming.
