MANILA, October 3, 2007 --Sex education in the context of family education has a rightful place in education but how to implement is of prime importance, thus said Nueva Caceres Archbishop Leonardo Z. Legazpi, OP in an interview over Catholic-run Veritas 846.

Archbishop Legazpi said the problem is when sex education becomes too visual and may end with unintended results. He said it would be easier if sex education is discussed in a classroom atmosphere rather than on television which has a wide audience from various age groups.
“You wouldn’t exactly know who’s watching or listening and the possibility exists it would do more harm than good,” he further said.
Asked of situations where parents themselves have sexual hang-ups, Archbishop Legazpi said the parishes have not slept on its obligation to guide its parishioners.
“The Church continues to do its share through the Pre-Cana conferences we host for people preparing to get married,” Archbishop Legazpi said. He added these conferences, at times, get to be counseling sessions.
He said he has already directed his Caceres Family Life Ministry to pursue more actively programs to emphasize family solidarity. (CBCPNews)
