Jason Evert advocates chastity for teens and young adults. In books and in speeches he has called homosexuality, and the use of contraceptives, "disordered".
The meeting is listed on the website of the Catholic Diocese of Waterford and Lismore, which states that "Jason is an experienced, dynamic, international youth speaker" and the event is "not to be missed".The schedule also listed events at two fee-charging boys south Dublin schools, Blackrock College, and Rockbrook Park School, due to take place next Wednesday.
In one text aimed at promoting chastity among boys and young men, Mr Evert writes about homosexuality: "A guy who has these attractions may not want them, or even know where they're coming from. Perhaps they stem from an unhealthy relationship with his father, an inability to relate to other guys, or even sexual abuse."
"To call it disordered is hugely damaging and harmful to young people", she said, "and it is shocking to think that young people here could be exposed to such a claim". According to Catholic website CatholicIreland.net the theme of Mr Evert’s tour is 'It Starts With the Heart'.
Not as controversial as allowing terrorists to walk freely among us and even give them air time
'The homosexual act is disordered, much like contraceptive sex between heterosexuals. Both acts are directed against God’s natural purpose for sex - babies and bonding.' Nutter.
Good luck with that one 😂
What are rte guidelines for using highly pejorative terms in headlines? What makes a speaker who uses the Bible to back up his views 'controversial'? Why should chastity be controversial? You never use that word about Islamic teaching, why? bias deeforbes_dee WilliamsJon
To ask kids to abstain from sex until marriage is controversial in a society that now promotes the sexualisation of our youth & the irresponsibility of its consequences as the norm!
If he's controversial then he's not welcome to our Woke land
Put a sock in it!
Chastity Maybe The Dipstick Needs To Go & Have Talk With The The Priest's & All The Other So Called Christian's Brother's & All Concerned & Dipstick Could Bring Chastity Belts With Him To Hand Them Out To Them All.
Coming from a organisation that hides paedophile priests that tortured children, ok so.
Let me fix this: “Jason is an experienced, dynamic, international youth speaker' Should read: “Jason is a skilled manipulator of your youth in captive circumstances. Guaranteed to leave them feeling awful about themselves and others.”
How is this even considered appropriate?
Should it not be 'will now not take place'
They must have booked him before reading his views.
