Comparing the proposed sex education of the RH Bill to “rotten food”, a medical doctor and psychologist, told thousands of people at the Prayer Power Rally today how the proposed sex ed will corrupt young people’s morality and thinking.

Dr. Lucille Montes said the proposed sex ed  will corrupt Filipinos’ morality and behavior by slowly opening up their mind to accept ideas about sex and sexual behavior that culturally Filipinos reject.

Despite talking for just a few minutes, Dr. Montes was able to explain solidly why the proposed sex ed will have negative effects on young people. (Photo Credit: CBCP News)

“Parang pagkain na hinaluan ng sira, kahit konti lang, masisira na ang lahat (Just like food that is mixed with even just a little bit of spoiled food, the entire dish is contaminated),” Dr. Lucille Montes said in her short talk about the impact of sex ed.

She said RH Bill proponents stress that sex ed will address sex crimes, STDs and teenage pregnancies but have failed to do just that in countries where systematized sex ed has been implemented for decades.

“Lalong sumasama ang kinaabukasan ng mga kabataang galing sa mga bansang may sex education (The future of young people from countries with sex ed is getting worse),” Dr. Montes added.

In closing, she rallied the estimated 10,000-strong crowd not to allow the Philippines to suffer the same fate. [Nirva'ana Ella Delacruz]

   Plato had already warned us that pleasure is an enemy that is not easy to conquer: one of the main aims of education, he wrote, is to teach a child to achieve victory over pleasure.
   Pleasure in itself is not evil; it is the Creator himself who has linked pleasure to certain bodily activities. But the great task of a truly Christian education is to baptize pleasure, to receive it gratefully as a gift, and not to claim it as a right. There are legitimate pleasures, calling for gratitude, but also illegitimate ones: gluttony and drunkenness, and alas, inherently perverse ones.
   The Church, as a loving Mother, has the mission of reminding Her children, wounded by Original Sin, that the intimate sphere has to be approached with reverence. Dietrich von Hildebrand’s In Defense of Purity makes the point that God, and not a boundless search for “pleasure,” should always be king of the bedroom.

   that in the marital embrace, when the husband gives his wife the precious semen that God has placed in his body, he starts a causal chain that can lead to pregnancy: the spouses are collaborating with their Creator, in order to bring a new life into existence. This is a privilege not even granted to the angels; the importance and beauty of which needed to be recognized. Between “procreation” and “copulation,” Dietrich saw an abyss separating persons incarnated into a body, and animals. The human body, as the utterly unique creation of God, was – and still is – called upon to have the “Heavenly seal” of personhood in every single bodily activity. This is why St. Paul writes, “whether you eat or drink, glorify God” (1 Corinthians 10: 31-32).
