The Archdiocese of Hamburg in Germany has published new guidelines for sexual education promoting homosexuality and transgenderism.
“With a new conceptual framework for sex education in Catholic schools, the Archdiocese of Hamburg is sending a clear signal in favor of contemporary, value-oriented, and scientifically sound sex education,” the archdiocese wrote in its press release.
The guidelines, entitled “Male, female, diverse: Concept framework for sex education at Catholic schools in the archdiocese of Hamburg,” will be binding for all Catholic schools in the diocese.
However, the document blatantly contradicts Catholic teaching on sexual ethics, promotes homosexuality and gender ideology, and states that human beings have sexual experiences from birth.
“The aim [of the guidelines] is to empower children and young people in education and upbringing to shape their lives with increasing self-determination and personal responsibility with regard to their gender identity and sexual orientation,” the document states.
The concept says that it draws from “findings from the human sciences” and “modern theology,” as well as documents and discussion from the heretical German Synodal Way.

The concept of sexuality used in the guidelines is based on the work of Uwe Sielert, professor emeritus of “sexual sciences” at Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel, who defines sexuality as “general life energy that makes use of the body, is fed from a variety of sources, has many different forms of expression, and is meaningful in many different ways,” in radical contradiction to the Catholic faith.
Sielert is the founder of the so-called “sexual education of diversity” that is used in schools throughout Germany. He was a student of Professor Helmut Kentler, the most celebrated German “progressive” sexual education proponent who, as investigations after his death confirmed, ran a massive pedophile network in Germany. With the help of government authorities in Berlin, he put many delinquent boys and adolescents in the “care” of homosexual and pedophile men, who abused them for years.

Sielert, and by extension the guidelines by the Archdiocese of Hamburg, views humans as sexual beings from birth until death. According to this view, even infants have “sexual experiences” as the guidelines state: “It is important to remember that humans are sexual beings from the very beginning. The positive experience of gentle touch that infants feel during personal care is one of their first sexual experiences.”
The text also spouts gender ideology throughout the document, stating, for example, “Sexuality is part of identity development, which includes experiencing one’s own person: Who am I as a boy or man, as a girl or woman, or as a non-binary person?”
Moreover, the guidelines depict homosexual relationships as equal to heterosexual marriage: “Humans are designed to interact with others and to give and receive closeness, security, trust, and love, which is expressed, among other things, in sexuality, which we do not understand exclusively as heteronormative sexuality between a man and a woman.”
“The love between same-sex partners is also an expression of friendship, reliability, loyalty, and support in life,” it continues.
The document also claims that “gender identity and sexual orientation cannot be learned, but are predetermined.”
The leadership of the archdiocese shows its open disregard for Church teaching, citing heterodox moral theologian Stephan Goertz, who said:
In order to bridge the gap between doctrine and life, I believe that the Catholic Church should show itself to be an institution capable of learning. An institution that (1) learns to deal with its own tradition in a self-critical manner, (2) considers what follows from the special dignity of human beings for the shaping of sexuality, and (3) takes seriously the fact that the experiences of the faithful are a source of Christian moral teaching.
The archbishop of Hamburg, Stefan Heße, is known for his heterodoxy. He is a supporter of the heretical German Synodal Way and has spoken in favor of “women’s ordination” and changing Church doctrine on homosexual acts.
The Catholic Church has always taught (including the post-Vatican II magisterial texts) that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered” (Persona Humana 8), sinful, and contrary to the natural law.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church furthermore states that homosexual acts “close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.”
The Church also teaches that the conjugal act within marriage between a man and a woman is the only legitimate form of sexuality (cf. Familiaris consortio 11).
The Church has always held that human beings are created as either male or female (cf. Gen. 1:27) and that everyone should accept his or her sex (cf. CCC 2333). The Church has therefore always strongly opposed gender ideology and transgenderism, including in a recent document by the Congregation for Catholic Education published in 2019 called “Male and female he created them.”
Stefan Heße, of course is a frankenbishop, appointed bishop in 2015.
Yet, in 2021:
Pope Francis has declined the resignation of a German archbishop, the apostolic nunciature in Berlin announced on Wednesday.
The nunciature said on Sept. 15 that the pope had asked Archbishop Stefan Heße to remain as archbishop of Hamburg, northern Germany, following a Vatican investigation into his handling of abuse cases, reported CNA Deutsch, CNA’s German-language news partner.

More insanity based on the filthy pseudoscientific Kinsey report. He was a child molester.
Defrock this Bishop.
Today’s Gospel: Very clear message for Germany Priests leading this heretical criminal activity.
Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place. Therefore, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so will be called least in the Kingdom of heaven. But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.”
Amen!
So is the new Poop going to stop this?

After fighting against it in the San Antonio Archdiocese back then, I had no idea it was still around.
I’d write G-damn these bishops but I believe God has that covered already.
“”The Archdiocese of Hamburg in Germany has published new guidelines for sexual education promoting homosexuality and transgenderism.””
Just more demon-infested “men of the cloth”... who are, in actuality, working for Satan. Look for this perversion of faith to increase and even become the “norm” as these end days wind down until... the actual end. Jesus can’t come soon enough, IMHO. Waiting with great anticipation.
