ENGLISH BISHOP DEFENDS THE FAITH
London, Feb 26, 2008 / 03:45 am (CNA).- A committee in the British House of Commons will investigate Catholic schools following the Bishop of Lancaster’s instructions to schools to place crucifixes in every classroom and stop “safe sex” education, the Independent reports.
Patrick O’Donoghue, Bishop of Lancaster, had circulated a 66-page booklet instructing Catholic schools to stop “safe sex” education. Bishop O’Donoghue wrote, "The secular view on sex outside marriage, artificial contraception, sexually transmitted disease, including HIV and AIDS, and abortion, may not be presented as neutral information."
Additionally, he told the schools not to support charities that support abortion.

The Bishop specifically cited Amnesty International for its approval of abortion of babies that result from rape in war zones as a charity that must not be supported. Of course this firm stand brought out the "fundamentalist" charge, which is not unexpected.
