Contradictions between understanding sexuality in Catholic education (CE) and comprehensive sexuality education (CSE)

The article raises the problem that understanding sexuality in comprehensive sexual education strongly contradicts an understanding of sexuality in Catholic education. To establish these contradictions and main differences, the qualitative content analysis method was used to evaluate the concept of sexuality in the content of the guidelines for comprehensive sexuality education from a Christian anthropological perspective. An evaluation of the comprehensive sexuality education document in the light of Christan anthropology reveals that the concept of sexuality in comprehensive sexuality education is fundamentally inconsistent with the concept of sexuality in Catholic education.

Abstract

The article raises the problem that understanding sexuality in comprehensive sexual education strongly contradicts an understanding of sexuality in Catholic education. To establish these contradictions and main differences, the qualitative content analysis method was used to evaluate the concept of sexuality in the content of the guidelines for comprehensive sexuality education from a Christian anthropological perspective. An evaluation of the comprehensive sexuality education document in the light of Christan anthropology reveals that the concept of sexuality in comprehensive sexuality education is fundamentally inconsistent with the concept of sexuality in Catholic education.
