What is meant by a Catholic education? It should mean an education that passes on official Church teaching without dilution, and trains children to accept it. It’s why so many non-Catholics do not want their children to attend Catholic schools.
Because Catholic teaching is not in line with modern-day thinking and lifestyles. The Catholic Church in Ireland has long since ceased to spell out Catholic teaching in schools, perhaps because it fears that parents will walk away. Children attending are not taught Church teaching on homosexuality for instance: that it is a misfortune to be born homosexual, but gravely sinful to indulge your freakish nature. Homosexual practice condemns the sinner to hell.
Fornication and adultery are both grave sins, and those who die without having abandoned their sinful way and sought forgiveness will also merit eternal hellfire. Fornication is sexual congress outside sacramental marriage. Adultery is sexual congress by a married person with a partner other than their wife/husband. No second relationships are permitted. Marriage is for life.And those openly living in sin are supposed to be refused the sacraments.
