Oppose New York City Public School Sex Education Mandate

What is chastity?
"The Church calls all to lead "a chaste life in keeping with their particular states in life" (CCC, no 2348), a striving that is performed deliberately, maturely, happily, and for the sake of the Kingdom.  It is a surrendering of all genital activity in thought, word, and deed, alone, or with others, hetero-or-homo, honestly confronting any inclinations, drives, or fantasies that threaten the wholesome, healthy, realistic purity mirrored by Jesus and expected by His Church of her people."
Called To Be Holy
by Archbishop Timothy Dolan, Archdiocese of New York
