Pro-life Leader Slams Proposed State-Sponsored Sexualization of Latin American Children
June 18, 2009
FRONT ROYAL, VA (MetroCatholic) – Fr. Thomas J. Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, today castigated members of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) following reports of the organization’s declaration earlier this month calling for “comprehensive sexuality education starting in early childhood.”
As reported by LifeSiteNews, the ECOSOC’s meeting in Jamaica yielded a resolution declaring that: “Scientific evidence demonstrates that comprehensive sexuality education, including HIV/STI prevention methods – such as the correct and consistent use of male and female condoms…neither accelerates sexual debut, nor increases the frequency of sexual relations.”
“This is absolute nonsense! We know from almost every study on the topic that this is the exact opposite of the truth,” said Fr. Euteneuer. “Condom promotion has not stopped HIV in the developing world. And propagandizing young children about a value-neutral approach to sex, and telling them that they’ll be safe if they use condoms is exactly how you get them to start practicing sex before marriage.”
“This outrage is perpetrated by pagans forcing their hedonistic values on the families of the only Catholic continent in the world. It is a violation of sovereignty of nations and of the rights of parents to teach their kids on these delicate matters,” said Fr. Euteneuer.
Fr. Euteneuer pointed out that the 1995 Vatican document, The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality, condemns this form of sex education and manipulation.
“The innocence of children is too precious of a gift to throw away in deference to government and its coercive modern amorality,” said Fr. Euteneuer.
“Parents, teachers, and all people of good will, let’s tell them to get their grubby hands off our kids!”

Promoting sex is right here in America on billboards in NY & CA the Calvin Klein billboards. Its disgusting so I wont describe them but onemillionmoms.com & onemilliondads.com is sending emails to Calvin Klein. They also have picture of the billboard so you can see for yourself how wrong it is. There is no place in public that type of advertising should be. The best way to counter CK is dont buy Calvin Klein clothing.
