26. The Deplorable State of “Catholic”

Parochial and High Schools
“I believed in the beginning it would be easy to stop the filthy material from being
taught in schools. I was confident that if any decent person would just look at the
material, they would be repulsed and stop it immediately. I was naive to think the
Archbishop or his "department heads" cared anything for souls.”1

Since the Vatican II revolution, the once-Catholic school system has been laid waste. Even
many supporters of the Vatican II/Novus Ordo “Church,” who have made themselves
vigorous defenders of the antipopes we’ve exposed in the preceding sections, have been forced
to abandon the Novus Ordo “Catholic” school system in droves. The heresy and immorality of
the “Catholic” school system allows one to say that it’s no longer Catholic except in name only.
Chief among its many problems is sex education.

Pope Pius XI condemned sex education. In doing so, he pointed out that it’s not ignorance of
such things which lead to sins in this regard, but rather exposure to such enticements.

Pope Pius XI, Divini illius magistri, Dec. 31, 1931: “But much more pernicious are those
opinions and teachings regarding the following of nature absolutely as a guide. These
enter upon a certain phase of human education which is full of difficulties, namely, that
which has to do with moral integrity and chastity. For here and there a great many
foolishly and dangerously hold and advance the method of education, which is
disgustingly called ‘sexual,’ since they foolishly feel that they can, by merely natural
means, after discarding every religious and pious aid, warn youth against sensuality
and excess, by initiating and instructing all of them, without distinction of sex, even
publicly, in hazardous doctrines; and what is worse, by exposing them prematurely to
the occasions, in order that their minds having become accustomed, as they say, may
grow hardened to the dangers of puberty.
“But in this such persons gravely err, because they do not take into account the
inborn weakness of human nature, and that law planted within our members, which, to
use the words of the Apostle Paul, ‘fights against the law of my mind’ (Rom. 7:23); and
besides, they rashly deny what we have learned from daily experience, that young
people certainly more than others fall into disgraceful acts, not so much because of
an imperfect knowledge of the intellect as because of a will exposed to enticements
and unsupported by divine assistance.”2

In blatant disregard of this teaching, sex education programs, including graphic ones, are
implemented in all “Catholic schools,” thus corrupting the innocence of Catholic children from
their earliest years. In fact, it would be a gross understatement to merely call these programs
“sex education.” They are more correctly labeled “sex initiation” or indoctrination in filth. As
partially quoted at the beginning of this section, one mother, whose child was receiving this
“sex education” in the “Catholic” school, expressed her outrage to the “bishop”; but to no avail:

“The last two months have been a nightmare. I believed in the beginning it would be
easy to stop the filthy material from being taught in schools. I was confident that if
any decent person would just look at the material, they would be repulsed and stop it
immediately. I was naive to think the Archbishop or his "department heads" cared
anything for souls. Instead, what I found was a Chancery full of people with
deadened consciences and deformed judgments----- "white washed sepulchers with
The Deplorable State of “Catholic” Schools 373

dead men’s bones." Every parent in this diocese should be alarmed that such people
have been put in charge of caring for and teaching innocent and vulnerable children. It is
scandalous!”3

To illustrate the perversion of this “sex education,” it’s necessary to expose some specifics. If
specifics are never given, most never realize how bad the situation really is. In the Diocese of San
Antonio, for instance, the book Growing in Love is used for sex education grades K-8. This book is
also used in dioceses all over the country. A complaining mother noted about this book:

“The sexology begins in kindergarten where children learn correct body terms such as:
penis, testes, breasts, vagina, buttocks, anus, urinate, and defecate. They are introduced
to the idea of self-touch (masturbation) "For comfort or pleasurable sensation." Each
year the program explores sexual activity a little more in depth rehashing body parts and
progressing to how-to instructions regarding French kissing, foreplay, orgasms, oral
and anal sex. If that isn’t bad enough, Growing In Love teaches about sex toys (dildos and
vibrators), and sadism and masochism.”4

Another man noted:

“Growing in Love, is so utterly disgusting and depraved in its explicit description of

perverted sex acts including oral sex techniques for male and female heterosexuals and
homosexuals, and so in-your-face with ‘gay and lesbian agit-prop,’ that it just might
spark enough public outrage to force the American hierarchy and the Vatican to bring
this fifty-year anti-life, anti-child, anti-family and anti-God experiment to a merciful
end.”5

This book is used to educate children in “Catholic” schools! We’ve covered in great detail how
evil and heretical the Vatican II sect is, but it’s still somewhat difficult to believe that this is being
taught. We’re talking about a full demonic takeover here: the very education given in “Catholic”
schools encourages the youngest children to commit mortal sins (such as masturbation) which
will send them to Hell forever!

Matthew 18:6- “But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it
were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should
be drowned in the depth of the sea.”

And while this abominable and satanic sex initiation is taught in “Catholic” schools, it’s actually
illegal to present such sexually graphic material, as is found in Growing in Love, in public schools
in the state of Louisiana.6 The book Growing in Love bears the Nihil obstat of Rev. Richard L.
Schaefer, Censor DePutatus and the imprimatur of Archbishop Jerome Hanus of the Archdiocese
of Dubuque (IA).

In light of the above situation, it’s not surprising that basic Catholic dogma and morality are
rejected or almost universally ignored by “Catholics” who have come from these schools.
Immorality, immodesty and indifferentism are rampant, and in many ways the Novus Ordo
“Catholics” are as bad or worse than the pagans. For instance, almost all “Catholic” high
schools host proms and balls which feature Rap, Rock, and Heavy Metal music – as well as
lascivious dress and dancing. There’s no aversion to the modern culture and the worldly
celebrations, which Scripture and traditional Catholic Faith teach are at variance with the ways of
God. Rather, there is a union of pagan culture and the Novus Ordo school system. Since this
The Deplorable State of “Catholic” Schools 374

is the opposite of what a real Catholic education imparts, this shows again that the Novus Ordo
school system is devoid of the true Catholic Faith.

Pope Leo XIII, Exeunte iam anno (# 10), Dec. 25, 1888: “Now the whole essence of a
Christian life is to reject the corruption of the world and to oppose constantly any
indulgence in it…”7

People go through four years of “Catholic” high school without having been taught the concept
of mortal sin.8 As the aforementioned mother noted, “It is a real tragedy that in today’s Catholic
schools, children today can recite the litany of sexual body parts, but cannot recite the Lord’s Ten
Commandments.”9 A study written by a professor of sociology at Notre Dame concluded that
American “Catholic” teens are “largely indifferent to faith and practice matters.”10 That revealing
assessment is also probably an understatement if we consider that it comes from a professor who
teaches at one of the post-Vatican II sect’s universities.

Both in America and abroad, the post-Vatican II “Catholic” school system is fraught with
religious indifferentism and a celebration of false religions. For instance, Holy Rood Roman
Catholic Primary School in South Yorkshire, England – approved by the Diocese of Hallam –
held a Sikh and a Jewish Day in order to celebrate these false religions.11

This is so evil and so sad; they’re turning these little children into apostates.

The post-Vatican II “Catholic” school system is a complete joke, and perhaps the only reason it
still has even a semblance of respect or recognition as “Catholic” from the modern world is
because of its athletic programs. The “Catholic Leagues” are now identified with competitive
high school athletics, which boast some of the top sports programs in the country, especially in
football and basketball. The “Catholic Leagues” are certainly not outstanding for their
formation of people in the Catholic Faith, which is non-existent.

Since the Catholic Faith is no longer held to be necessary for salvation, Novus Ordo priests no
longer tell families they are obliged to send their children to “Catholic” schools. “The number of
Catholic schoolchildren in the Archdiocese of Boston has plunged from 152,869 in 1965 to 50,742
today, and the archdiocese has closed multiple schools during each of the last several years.”12

The statistics of decline for the U.S. as a whole are even more striking.

“-- Catholic schools. Almost half of all Catholic high schools in the United States have
closed since 1965. The student population has fallen from 700,000 to 386,000. Parochial
schools suffered an even greater decline. Some 4,000 have disappeared, and the number
of pupils attending has fallen below 2 million -- from 4.5 million. Though the number
of U.S. Catholics has risen by 20 million since 1965, Jones' statistics show that the power
of Catholic belief and devotion to the Faith are not nearly what they were.” 13

In considering these figures, one must remember that the population of professing Catholics
increased by 20 million since 1965. 14 Thus, if the number of Catholic schoolchildren had
remained the same since 1965, that would represent, in itself, a tremendous failure. But when we
consider that not only has the number not remained the same, but almost half of all Catholic high
schools have closed, and parochial school attendance had decreased by 2.5 million, this
represents a catastrophic crisis and a deep-seated spiritual rot. It’s all tied up with what we’ve
been covering and exposing in the first part of this book: the Vatican II antipopes, the New Mass
and the Vatican II apostasy.
