Human Sexuality Formation

The formation of a young person in human sexuality can not be reduced to a plumbing manual and passed off as “sex ed” as it may be in other schools.

The Catholic philosophy is that as the first educators of their children, parents have the primary obligation for human sexuality formation. The Catholic school assists parents in fulfilling this responsibility not only because a state law requires it but because parents deserve assistance and modern society desperately needs the wisdom and insight the Church can offer.

What distinguishes the Catholic Church’s view of human sexuality?

1. It focuses on the dignity of every human person.

2. In the elementary grades, it focuses on formation in the virtues, especially those of self-respect and respect for others but includes the four moral virtues and the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

3. It requires that information about human sexuality not be separated from its moral context.

4. When teaching the most intimate aspects of human sexuality, it asks first for written parental permission to impart this information to the children.

5. In the middle school grades, it emphasizes an understanding of self, the mutuality of relationships, and the sacredness of sexual powers.

Page | 25

6. In the lower level courses of high school it continues to aid the young person in proper formation for lifelong intimacy with one partner through the healthy formation of relationships, an understanding of the necessary process of moving from friendship to marriage, and points out the pitfalls and detours that society glorifies but experience shows to be destructive and unfruitful.

7. It condemns the objectification of women’s bodies to satisfy lust and it critically distinguishes what modern culture considers natural and inevitable from God’s plan for the use of our sexual gifts.

8. It culminates in an upper level vocations course which prepares students for choosing their life’s vocation and assists them in discerning their next steps after high school.

9. Above all, a Catholic view of human sexuality dignifies the truth and beauty of human sexuality when lived fully and unreservedly in accordance with .

Key Doctrinal Points

1. God created us in his image (i.e. to be like Him).

2. God inscribed into our very nature a need for and a responsibility for mutual love and communion. This is our universal vocation.

3. The complementary union of husband and wife in matrimony with the help of the Holy Spirit should be modeled on the Trinity.

4. The Trinity is a family of persons who give themselves to each other permanently, totally, completely, and sacrificially.

5. The Incarnation demonstrates the infinite value of our humanity dignity. The Son of God became Man, because God loves us so much.

6. In his passion and death, Christ sacrifices His body for His Bride, the church.

7. In his ascension, Christ ascends to heaven in His glorified body. Our destiny is to be with him, in heaven, body and soul, for all eternity.

8. Mary’s body housed the living God. In her Assumption, Mary’s body was raised to heaven into glory. Mary is a sign and witness to our hope for the resurrection of our bodies for all eternity.

9. At Eucharist, we receive the body of Christ. Our bodies are made to be shared with others for their true good.

10. Formation in virtue is formation in what is true and objectively good, not in what is popular or comfortable. We were made by God to be like Him. Virtue is the habit of doing good, i.e. the habit of becoming like God.

STEWARDSHIP

Page | 27

STEWARDSHIP OVERVIEW Stewardship is a spirituality, a way of living, a step in our personal evangelization. As important as it is to memorize the official diocesan definition, the virtues of a steward, and even the triad of “time, talent, and treasure,” it is far more critical that students see stewardship witnessed daily by their teachers and parents as their way of life and also have the opportunity to practice it in every routine of the day.

Three questions distinguish stewardship from the modern lifestyle espoused and glamorized by current culture. What do I have? Where did it come from? What do I do with it?

Modern culture constantly teaches us that we do not have enough and deserve more. However, stewards believe that they have everything they need and must of what they want.

Modern culture teaches us that whatever we have, we earned with our own two hands; whatever we want, we have a right to; whatever we don’t want, we can dispose of. Stewards believe that everything we have is a gift from God, and the most important things we have – life, love, family, health, children, happiness, eternity, etc. can not be earned or purchased at any price.

Modern culture teaches us that what we have is ours to keep, and that we owe nothing to anyone else because each person should take care of himself. Stewards believe, however, that because everything we have is a gift from God, we have an obligation to care for these gifts, share them generously with others, and be accountable to God for our stewardship of the gifts He has entrusted to us.

So teaching stewardship is not a matter of definition or service hours. It is a countercultural way of life that each of us can choose or not. “To be or not to be?” was Shakespeare’s famous question. For Christian disciples it is the question. Stewardship is the answer.

MISSION OVERVIEW Decades ago, missionary work was seen to be the task of a small number of zealous Catholics who traveled to distant lands to convert pagans. The rest of the Catholic population participated in this effort with occasional donations.

The proclaimed a very different vision of spreading the faith that was the vocation of every baptized person and was to be reiterated at the conclusion of every Sacrifice of the Mass when the faithful are sent from the liturgy to live the faith, to love and serve each other.

In recent times, this missionary call is best understood within the context of evangelization, a term elaborated upon by Pope Paul VI in 1976 in Evangelii Nuntiandi. Evangelization is an umbrella term that explains how a person comes to know, love, and live the Catholic faith. It includes the proclamation or reception of the Gospel, the decision to accept God’s call to follow Him (discipleship), the decision to live out that faith in service to God and to others (stewardship), and the obligation to witness to that faith and spread it as missionaries.

Page | 30

The understanding of the missionary call also continues to evolve. We have always understood that the Church has a mission to evangelize those who have never heard the gospel. However, in recent years, the term New Evangelization has been coined to stir up the dormant or inactive faith of those who are already members of the Church through Baptism, a group estimated to include more than 20 million people in the United States alone. Clearly, then, to paraphrase recent popes, the work of every Catholic is to be a missionary.

Doctrinal Points

1. The of Jesus is “Go, therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you…” (Mt. 28:20)

2. Christ has entrusted His mission to the Church. The Church, in obedience to the command of her founder and because it is demanded by her own essential universality, strives to preach the Gospel to all men” (CCC 849)

3. The Church is the Body of Christ where Christ the Head continues to work His mission. Through Baptism, we became members of Christ’s Body.

Appendix E: Integrating Values into the Classroom Curriculum

Appendix E: Integrating Values

Integrating Values into the Classroom Curriculum

For a more credible approach to values education, research indicates that values need to be integrated at four levels of school life: Interpersonal Level: through the lives of staff/parents/students as they relate to each other and to the community they serve, Organizational Level: through policies and procedures that govern the school, Instructional Level: through the actual classroom instruction--explicitly and implicitly in each academic/subject area, and Family Level: through the reinforcement of the same value within the home. Below are some ideas for integrating the gospel values at the instructional level. This is by no means an exhaustive list.

Value of Community emphasis on the virtue of Community in all areas of the curriculum • in science, the topic of conservation • in social studies, dignity of life • in religious education class, emphasis on the parish as a community • in literature, acceptance of cultures instructional level - implicitly • organization of material to meet individual needs to provide success experiences • respect for the learning styles of students • structures that encourage cooperative learning, e.g., peer tutoring, small group work/instruction • a warm, inviting classroom environment instructional level - assessment • Are attitudes and skills for community building - such as caring, communicating, cooperating, confronting - being developed in the classroom? • Do the classroom materials and bulletin boards present a positive image of all people in regard to race, creed, sex, various handicaps, etc. • Does the religious education curriculum include faculty and parental • involvement?

Value of Faith emphasis on the value of Faith in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • exposure to the tradition of belief in religious education class, e.g. Bible stories, prayers, creeds, worship, witness, service, history of the Church • in science, explanation of God's wisdom in creating the balance of the universe • beginning all classes with prayer • field trips organized to cathedrals, monasteries, convents, seminaries, etc.

instructional level - implicitly • studying the data of how faith develops so as to assist students to see God's plan in any area of the curriculum • in social studies, speak of life's events in terms of Christian belief

Page 102 Appendix E: Integrating Values

• show reverence for each student as God's creation, despite talent or handicap instructional level - assessment • Does the religious education curriculum adhere to Catholic Christian tradition and current Church teaching? • Does the religion curriculum teach personal prayer and offer formation opportunities suited to the development of students? • Does the religion curriculum include methods that help the student develop in faith, form a mature/correct conscience, and apply moral decision-making skills? • Are Gospel values regularly and appropriately integrated in subject areas?

Value of Reconciliation emphasis on the value of Reconciliation in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • conflict resolution methods are taught in social studies and through guidance counselors • harmony is stressed in environment, creation in science • appropriate experiences and proper instruction regarding sacramental • reconciliation are given in religious education classes • studies on peace occur through content of literature and social studies instructional level - implicitly • techniques are used to express agreement or disagreement in all classes • students are taught to distinguish fact and opinion in all classes • dialogue between teachers and students takes place when differences occur instructional level - assessment

Page 103 Appendix E: Integrating Values

• Does instruction include knowledge and application of attitudes and skills necessary for community building, such as caring, communication, cooperation, confrontation? • Is the value of reconciliation taught in religious education classes?

Value of Courage emphasis on the value of Courage in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • examples of situations in literature and social studies which exemplify and discuss the relationship of senseless behavior vs. courage • personal courage or lack of it is emphasized in curricular areas, e.g., Jesus, generals, traitors, saints, founders, leaders, athletes • human development classes deal with aspects of courage preparation and support for leadership are stressed, e.g., choosing common good over personal good instructional level - implicitly • individuals are taught how they can stand alone when their peers are performing contrary actions, e.g., focus on identifying feelings, clarifying values, seeking support systems other than peers • all curricular areas can encourage perseverance in completing tasks • students can be challenged to perform more difficult tasks, e.g., using • skills of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation rather than merely knowledge and understanding instructional level - assessment • Does the curriculum include an examination of a personal Christian lifestyle -- patterns of consumption, conservation, sharing, leisure, and celebration? • Are social justice concerns integrated into appropriate areas of subject matter?

Value of Service emphasis on the value of Service in all areas of the curriculum: instructional level - explicitly • the service role is emphasized as it appears in curricular areas, e.g., priests and religious, physicians, government officials, police and fire personnel, as “community helpers” • religious education class recognizes the service given by missionaries in the Church • career education explores service professions instructional level - implicitly • students attitudes are prepared for service in the community • the service of the teacher is recognized and appreciated • students are able to perceive the teachers' attitude toward service instructional level – assessment • Does the school offer the use of a library to students and teachers? • Is service integrated in the content and methods used by teachers? • Are students taught to serve?

TIPS FOR BEING ONLINE

1. Never give out personal information (such as name, age, address, phone number, school, town, password, schedule, your picture) or fill out questionnaires or any forms online. 2. Never meet in person with anyone you have met online . 3. Do not enter a chat room without Mom and/or Dad's presence or supervision. Some “kids” you meet in chat rooms may not really be kids; they may be adults with bad intentions. Remember, people may not be who they say they are. 4. Choose a gender neutral online name to avoid harassment. 5. Be suspicious of anyone who tries to turn you against your parents, teachers, or friends. They may have a hidden agenda. 6. Never respond to or send email or instant message to new people you meet online. Talk to your parents first so that they can check it out. Also, do not engage in an online conversation that makes you feel uncomfortable, log off and tell your parents. If you get such a message, DO NOT respond. Sending a response only encourages the person. Instead, show it to your parents and let them handle it. 7. Catholic Online Resources a.

Dangers of Pornography Statistics

• Several Priests have noted an increase of pornography related confessions, in an ever decreasing age of student. • Average age of first internet exposure to pornography: 11 years old • 15-17 year olds having multiple hard-core exposures: 80% • 8-16 year olds who have viewed porn online (accidentally or on purpose): 90% • Number of cartoon characters names linked to porn cites if googled: 26 • Number of Pornographic websites: 4.2 Million (12% of all websites) • Number of 11-16 year olds who have internet access in their room: 60% • Percent of Youth who received sexual solicitation online who told their parent: 25% • Number 7 year olds who have internet access in their room: 41% • Christians who said pornography is a major problem in the home: 47% • Adults admitting to Internet sexual addition: 10% • Percent of Parents who use blocking or filtering software: 50%

Five Stages of Addiction

1. Early exposure. Most people who get addicted to porn start early. They see the stuff when they are very young, and it gets its foot in the door. 2. Addiction. Later comes addiction. You can't quit. 3. Escalation. After a while, escalation begins. You start to look for more and more graphic porn. You start using porn that would have disgusted you when you started. 4. Desensitization. Eventually, you start to become numb. Even the most graphic, degrading porn doesn't excite you anymore. You become desperate to feel the same thrill again but can't find it. 5. Acting out sexually. At this point, many men make a dangerous jump and start acting out sexually. They move from images of porn to the real world.

1. Children often imitate what they’ve seen, read, or heard. When children watch cowboys and Indians, they want to go play cowboys and Indians. When children watch Superman, they pretend to be action heroes. When kids watch sex, it’s no surprise they want to act out sexually. Some studies suggest that exposure to pornography can prompt kids to act out sexually against younger, smaller, and more vulnerable children. 2. Clinicians, psychologists, and law enforcement officials have noted an increase in the number of children seeking clinical help for issues relating to sexual exploitation; an increase in the number of children “acting out” sexually and a jump in the incidences of child-on-child sex attacks; and increased incidences of child-produced pornography.

Parent Education Handout Protectkids.com

I. Implement House Rules

A. Supervise Computer Use: Keep your child’s computer in an open area of your home and be aware of other computers and other devices children may be using outside of the home. Placing the computer in an area, such as the kitchen or family room, gives parents the ability to supervise a child’s online navigation. Pay attention to other computer and Internet-enabled mobile devices children are using.

30% of parents allow their teenagers to use the computer in private areas of the house such as a bedroom or a home office. Parents say they are more vigilant about where their teen(s) go online if the computer is in a public area of the household (NCMEC/ Cox5/24/05).

B. Know your kids’ online activities and friends. Regularly ask your kids about their online friends and activities. Role-play with your child the various dangerous scenarios they could encounter online.

Almost one in eight youth ages 8-18 discovered that someone they were communicating with online was an adult pretending to be much younger (Internet safety: Realistic Strategies & Messages for Kids Taking More and More Risks Online. December 21, 2005. Polly Klaas Foundation. February 17, 2006 < http://www.pollyklaas.org/internet- safety/pkfsummary.pdf >).

C. Teach your children to never give personal information over the Internet, such as name, address, telephone number, password, parents' names, the name of any club or team he/she is involved in, name of his/her school, or after school job.

In January of 2005 in Lafayette, Louisiana, a 16-year-old girl was attacked by a 37-year-old man who read her profile on MySpace.com and tracked her down at her after-school job.

D. Pay Attention to Online Photos: Know the type of photos your child is posting online. It is wisest to encourage your child not to post any photos online. Children use various forms of technology to post information and photos online, such as videos and web cams. Photos from camera phones can also be uploaded. Parents should be aware of the imagery their children post on the Web—these images most likely pose a risk to their children, exposing them to online predators and strangers. Even innocent photos can attract a predator.

E. Keep the Lines of Communication Open: Use the Internet with your child. Parents should be proactive about their child’s online activities. Spend time alongside your child and establish an atmosphere of trust. This provides an opportunity for parents to engage in dialogue about websites their children visit and programs they are using. Parents should be open to learning about technology so they can keep up with their children. Understanding how children use the Internet will give parents a better idea of the risks they may face.

Page 109

65% of all parents and 64% of all teens say that teens do things online that they wouldn’t want their parents to know about (Pew Internet & American Life Project, March 17, 2005).

F. Act Like the Child: Search blog sites children visit to see what information they are posting. To ensure that children are not engaging in risky online behavior, we recommend that parents do a simple online search. Parents can type in their child’s name, nickname, school, hobbies, grade, or residence to determine information availability. Supervise blogs - not only what your child is posting but what other kids are posting about your child.

86% of the girls polled said they could chat online without their parents’ knowledge, 57% could read their parents’ e-mail, and 54% could conduct a cyber relationship (Girl Scout Research Institute, 2002).

G. Limit and monitor the amount of time your child spends on the Internet , and at what times of day. Excessive time online, especially at night, may indicate a problem. Remind your child that Internet use is a privilege, not a right.

23% of youth reported being “very” or “extremely upset” by exposures to sexual material (Victimization of Youths on the Internet, 2003).

II. TOOLS (Windows Live Family Safety from Microsoft is free and does most of these)

A. Monitoring Software: Install software to manage where children go online. Monitoring software gives parents the ability to view activity on the Internet and identify their child’s online buddies. These programs give parents a better understanding of what their child is doing online, where they are going, and empowers parents to set online boundaries for their children.

Over half (51%) of parents either do not have or do not know if they have software on their computer(s) that monitors where their teenager(s) go online and with whom they interact (NCMEC/Cox 5/24/05).

B. Exercise Parental Control: Implement Filtering tools. Parental control tools are provided by some Internet Service Providers (ISP) or are available for purchase as separate software packages. These tools allow parents to restrict websites a child can view from their home computer. Settings are password-protected. Remember – no filter is a substitute for parental supervision.

More than 11 million teens regularly view porn online (The Washington Post, July 1, 2004).

C. Restrict Access: Use privacy settings to restrict access to the child’s website. Social networking sites provide a variety of privacy settings that limit who can view the child’s website. By using these privacy tools, parents may be able to approve which friends from school, clubs, teams, and community groups are able to view a child’s profile or blog, and block unknown individuals from accessing a child’s information. On most social networking websites, you can access and change your child’s privacy settings by clicking on “account settings.” Remember that no one can detect a disguised predator. Predators can still penetrate ‘youth only’ spaces.

Authorities say teens are finding trouble in the social networking environment where millions of people, can in seconds, find out where they go to school, learn their interests, download their pictures and instantly send them messages(Associated Press, 2/4/06).

D. Become a net-savvy parent. The best safeguard against online dangers is being informed. Jump in and learn the basics of the Internet—read articles, take a class, and talk to other parents. A good place to start with some basics is www.LearnTheNet.com . A good place to stay current with the latest in online technology is mashable.com . You don’t have to be an expert to have a handle on your child’s online world.
