"Consent Based Catholic Sex Education: Moving towards a more inclusive model of sex education, reproductive education, and consent education." Harvard Divinity School.https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37368085This paper will show that Catholic sex education needs an update immediately. I argue that Catholic sex education should move towards a model that is based on consent, that teaches comprehensive reproductive education, and that is culturally competent. Utilizing sources that have been produced by the Catholic Church, the resources from the Loyola Marymount University Cares program, and from survey respondents themselves, I begin to lay out what a new form of inclusive sex education in the spirit of Catholic teaching can look like and how to reduce further harm from occurring.en-USSex EducationConsentCatholic ChurchLatinx LatinoReproductive healthLGBTQ+Research Paper or Report2021-06-30
