Re: EWTN TV: World Youth Day 2016, Krakow, Poland: Coverage Schedule July 25 – 31 Has anyone seen this? https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/va...parents-and-mo The program titled “The Meeting Point: Course of Affective Sexual Education for Young People” was released last week by the Pontifical Council for the Family to be presented this week to young people at World Youth Day in Poland. While the new Vatican program has many positive qualities, its defects cannot be underestimated. These include: Handing the sexual formation of children over to educators while leaving parents out of the equation. Failing to name and condemn sexual behaviors, such as fornication, prostitution, adultery, contracepted-sex, homosexual activity, and masturbation, as objectively sinful actions that destroy charity in the heart and turn one away from God. Failing to warn youths about the possibility of eternal separation from God (damnation) for committing grave sexual sins. Hell is not mentioned once. Failing to distinguish between mortal and venial sin. Failing to speak about the 6th and 9th commandment, or any other commandment. Failing to teach about the sacrament of confession as a way of restoring relationship with God after committing grave sin. Not mentioning a healthy sense of shame when it comes to the body and sexuality. Teaching boys and girls together in the same class. Having boys and girls share together in class their understanding of phrases such as: “What does the word sex suggest to you?” Asking a mixed class to “point out where sexuality is located in boys and girls.” Speaking about the “process of arousal.” Using sexually explicit and suggestive images in activity workbooks (here, here, and here). Recommending various sexually explicit movies as springboards for discussion (see below for links). Failing to speak about abortion as gravely wrong, but only that it causes “strong psychological damage.” Confusing youths by using phrases such as “sexual relationship” to indicate not the sexual act, but a relationship focused on the whole person. Speaking of “heterosexuality” as something to be “discover[ed].” Using gay icon Elton John (while not mentioning his activism) as an example of a gifted and famous person. Endorsing the “dating” paradigm as a step towards marriage. Not stressing celibacy as the supreme form of self-giving that constitutes the very meaning of human sexuality. Failing to mention Christ’s teaching on marriage. Treating sexuality as a separate subject instead of as something integrated into the doctrinal and moral teachings of the Church.

Re: EWTN TV: World Youth Day 2016, Krakow, Poland: Coverage Schedule July 25 – 31 Enjoying the coverage on EWTN of WYD 2016. Looks like the Cable, National TV and Local Networks are skipping coverage of the WYD event except for Pope Francis's tumble and they will show some of his visit today to the Auschwitz concentration camp and the Birkenau concentration / extermination camp. __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)

Re: EWTN TV: World Youth Day 2016, Krakow, Poland: Coverage Schedule July 25 – 31 I did see two extremely short news stories about WYD 2016 last Saturday; one was on MSNBC and the other was on Fox News; MSNBC probably spent about 90 seconds covering it; Fox about 35 seconds. MSNBC did have a News Reporter at WYD; about half of each of the segments talked about the Pope's visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau; the rest was about the Pope at WYD. It's a pity because the Cable News Networks have broadcast rock charity / politically themed concerts in the past every once and a while. I think our nation, given the political and civil turmoil, could have benefited from more coverage of the Pope Francis's message of Divine Mercy but Big Media skipped it. And despite a large local Polish-American population according to Wikipedia in Sterling Heights, Michigan (17.34%; 21,350) and Warren, Michigan (21%; 28,370) just north of Detroit, I didn't see any Local TV News coverage about the preparations for going to or WYD in Krakow, Poland. __________________ "It's a free country; you can say whatever you want." --Old American Saying (U.S. Postal Service stamp-- from 1977 Americana series which extols freedom of speech and features a Speaker's Stand decorated with an American Flag shield.)
