Bishop's comments on sex education 'a punishment' for young people

Malta Confederation of Women's Organisation member Renee Laiviera says Gozo bishop Mario Grech's comments on sex education betray a reality of young people who are sexually active.

"Young people are sexually active and they must take the necessary precautions against sexually-transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Are we going to tell them to risk all this? That's a punishment on our children," Laiviera said.

Gozo Bishop Mario Grech yesterday said his comments on 31 October, that were lambasted by Genitourinary clinic director Dr Philip Carabot as ‘hysterical’, were: “our educational system can be committing abuse on our students if instead of helping them learn how to educate their sexual energy, offers them an education and methods such as contraceptives, to buy in to the culture of pleasure.”

Grech said he was not against sexual education in itself, but it had to include “all aspects, ethics included.”

In an interview with sister newspaper Illum, Laiviera talks of the dearth of women in the Maltese labour market. "55% of those who can work are working for the 45% who don't. Is this sustainable? We must address the low number of women in the labour market."

Jesuits Nabbed for Sexual Abuse of Native American Indian Children Two-year investigation tip of the iceberg of abuse, torture and genocide at Native American Mission Schools By Greg Szymanski, JD Jan. 5, 2009 The veil of evil protecting the Jesuit Order in the United States is finally being uncovered piece by dirty piece by a courageous investigator name Ken Bear Chief. For the last two years, he has been investigating the wholesale sexual abuse of Native American children at Mission schools set up by the Jesuits since at least the 1940s. What Ken Bear Chief has uncovered is the tip of the iceberg of what may prove to be the same technique of Jesuit genocide used in the residential school system in Canada set up in the late 1880s. In Canada, evidence has shown that hundreds of thousands of native children were abused, tortured and killed at Roman Catholic and Jesuit run residential schools for more than 100 years. Recently, Pastor Annett who has championed the cause of justice for the native Canadians took his protest to the steps of the Vatican in Rome. full story:http://www.arcticbeacon.com/greg/?p=1335

Dear Silvio, do have a rest and take a tablet. You are indeed a conspiracy theorist. Congratulations to Renee for taking the bishop on. It is time that Malta's women take on this all-male outdated hierarchy. I say get a few women bishops and the world would be a better place than those closeted ones. Pity Agatha is no longer with us. She would have made an excellent Cardinal. I am sure she would have told the bishop of Gozo where to go.

Every human being must have the right to choice. Overpopulation is a serious threat to the well-being of all humans here on our planet and everyone has to make an effort to control the number of births, including religions. Over the last two decades, polls of Catholics have revealed that 90% or more have used contraception. For couples to not use contraception increases the chances of unwanted pregnancies and given the Church's stance on abortion, children being raised by parents who didn't want them and perhaps do not have the financial, physical, or emotional resources to raise them. The Roman Catholic Church's contraception policy allows for nothing but built in guilt to citizens who belong to this church, causing them to practice unprotected sex leading not only for unplanned children but also unwanted sexually transmitted diseases. The idea that it is a sin to use contraception or that God will determine whether we are to have kids or not so we don't need to use contraception is a non biblical concept. The primary issue with contraception is that there are forms of contraception that are actually methods of abortion because they terminate life rather than prevent pregnancy. It is an individual decision rather than a decision that should be taken by the church. Different people may have different views, however, the church should not influence us on the use of a contraception. This is a choice that has to be made by the people. The church can argue that the use of contraception has led to recreational sex. This may be true in certain cases, but we as people must draw lines before various beliefs and ideas. If he/she believes in using contraceptives, then the church must not put pressure on anyone.

Who Is Your Final Authority? The Pope, Obama and UN or Jesus Christ and God, His Father By Greg Szymanski, JD Jan. 17, 2009 Pope Paul VI wrote a Papal Encyclical that called on the nations to abandon sovereignty and to form a one world government. All Anti-Christ Popes since have echoed Paul VI words, including John Paul II who carried the bent cross of Lucifer while he spoke to millions of followers. In fact, Paul VI was the first pope to use this distorted bent cross, carrying this sinister symbol, used by Satanists in the sixth century, that had been revived at the time of Vatican Two. This bent or broken cross, which displays a distorted and emaciated figure of Christ, was used black magicians and sorcerers of the Middle Ages to represent the Biblical term “Mark of the Beast. “Yet not only Paul VI, but his successors, the two John Paul’s, carried that object and held it up to be revered by the crowds, who had not the slightest idea that it stood for anti-Christ,” as stated in Broken Cross, Hidden Hands in the Vatican-Book Review for the Coming New World Order” (Radio Show Transcripts) In Cathy Burns, One World Order is Coming!-Who will rule? (Sharing, 1997). The Vatican has united with world leaders, including those in America, by using the United Nations as a their main tool by what should be known as “Unity in Error.” However, most Americans have no idea the United Nations is really a spiritual organization founded by Luciferians, including its mentor Jesuit priest, Fr. Teilhard deChardin, who might as well be called the patron saint of the UN. See Full:http://www.arcticbeacon.com/greg/?p=1337
