Scottish Executive Funds Catholic School Abstinence Programmes

Amid an ongoing battle over political correctness with the Catholic Church in Scotland, the Scottish Executive has decided to fund a new abstinence programme soon to be introduced in Catholic schools.

The new Called to Love programme is intended to be an alternative to “artificial contraception” by promoting marriage and the sanctity of human life, reports the Scottish Sunday Herald.

A fund of £170,000 has been earmarked by ministers to the outcry of campaigners who fear that the Scottish Executive is bringing in a two-tier sex education system by the back door.

Called to Love will place the teachings of the Catholic Church “at the heart” of the guidance it will bring to pupils on sex and relationships when it is launched this summer.
