La Plata, Argentina, Apr 22, 2008 / 01:26 pm (CNA).- Archbishop Hector Aguer of La Plata in Argentina has sent a document to Governor Daniel Scioli outlining the Church’s position on sex-ed in local schools in which he urges that these programs not be based on a “reductionist concept” of the human person.

“An issue as delicate as this [sex-ed] should not be addressed with a reductionist concept of the human person nor be limited to conveying biased information, with the implicit or explicit promotion of safe sex.  True sexual education should be education in love, chastity, marriage and the family,” the archbishop told the newspaper “La Nacion.”

Archbishop Aguer revealed that during his meeting with Scioli, he shared his observations about the National Comprehensive Sexual Education Program that is being drafted by the Argentinean Ministry of Education.

As a person with the A-word disease for over 10 years, and am now back to the Church of my fathers, I plead with all people of faith to allow right teaching to our children. I was taught by passionate nuns for 8 years, but had no male models of faith to follow. I had fallen for many vital years when I could have been a vital catechist instead. Please let the children hear and see chaste teachings from chaste teachers! It will catch fire all over the earth! Thank you.
