Vatican Blasts Sex Education Program In New York
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/31/vatican-sex-education_n_944172.html

"VATICAN CITY (RNS) The Vatican took a swipe at new sex education classes in New York City schools on Wednesday (Aug. 31), saying teaching middle school students how to use a condom is "useless, and even harmful."
The editorial criticized governments' "magical trust in the effectiveness of sex education."

3. Hey, Vatican!
How about you solve your pedophile priest problem before you start lecturing others on moral issues?

5. The Vatican would prefer that children not know what adults should not be doing to them.

6. Vatican doesn't want their parents using condoms
The church desperately need more kids, especially boys, for their schools.

12. "magical trust in the effectiveness of sex education."

God is an iron," I said. "Did you know that?"
I turned to look at her and she was staring. She laughed experimentally, stopped when I failed to join in. "And I'm a pair of pants with a hole scorched through the ass?"
"If a person who indulges in gluttony is a glutton, and a person who commits a felony is a felon, then God is an iron."

13. Well, no form of education is invariably effective...
but there is evidence that those who receive abstinence-only education are significantly more likely to end up as very young and reluctant parents, than those who receive proper sex education.

15. They apparently prefer magical trust
that kids will not have sex just because their parents tell them not to.
