Episode 77: Forming Hearts and Minds: The Church’s Vision for Sexual Education

In this episode of The NFP Podcast, hosts Amy and Emily continue their exploration of the 1995 Catholic document The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality. This week, they dive into the Church’s guidance on authentic methods of sexual education—what the Church recommends, what it cautions against, and how parents can faithfully form their children in truth and love. Amy and Emily discuss how the Church envisions sexual education as a lifelong process of formation, rooted in virtue, chastity, and respect for the human person. They also unpack the ideologies and methods the Church warns against, including those that separate sexuality from love, life, and moral responsibility.
