UPDATED--Church Chastity Presentation Fails to Excite
My 17 year old son came home from school yesterday with his hair on fire. His Catholic high school hired a chastity expert (who knew they even existed??) to give a presentation to the entire school—all 1500 kids. Turns out it was mostly an anti-birth control screed.
The resulting discussion we had was enlightening and ultimately allowed me to reinforce our family values as opposed to the Church’s. The presentation was an epic fail, at least for my kid.
Our family is what the Church euphemistically calls, “Fallen Away” so the religious aspect of Catholic school is something we pragmatically tolerate, most days. He attends this high school for safety and academic reasons.

He was told that all birth control is ineffective except for the Church-sanctioned rhythm method…which produces babies who tap dance, I guess. Also, birth control causes cancer. When telling me this one, my son made a HUGE eye roll as only a teen can do.
