EDUCATE YOURSELF ON THE IMPLICATIONS OF BILL C-8 ON CATHOLIC TEACHINGS ON SEXUALITY AND THE HUMAN BODY

In case you did not receive a notification regarding this posting in the "News and Events" on our webpage, I am reposting it on my blog, as I think that it is very important that we are all educated on the implications of this new bill.  There are many misconceptions of the Catholic understanding of sexuality and the human body and actively supporting these Catholic teachings may be now grounds for 5 years imprisonment.  Please consider signing up for the webinar that will be held on Thursday, May 21st at 7: 00 p.m.  It will be approximately an hour long and is open and free to all interested.  All information is found in the repost below:

Webinar on Bill C-8 “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (conversion therapy)” 

The Government of Canada has introduced Bill C-8 to parliament, which will criminalize conversion therapy. The Church does not undertake conversion therapy, because we oppose the use of coercion and other actions that violate a person’s human dignity. However, Bill C-8’s broad definition of conversion therapy means that people and organizations that actively support the Catholic understanding of sexuality and the human body could be found guilty of a criminal offence that is punishable by up to five years in prison.
