From the Vatican: New Instruction on Bioethics

12/12/2008
...

Today the Vatican released Dignitas Personae (The Dignity of a Person; opens as PDF in new window), an instruction from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) on bioethics. Dignitas Personae is a "sequel" to the 1987 instruction Donum Vitae (On Respect for Human Life in its Origin and on the Dignity of Procreation).

The USCCB page on Dignitas Personae includes links to the document itself, a Vatican summary, a Q&A, and the USCCB press release.

From Our Founder

From time immemorial Catholic children have had the door opened to their first “sex lesson” by the holy words: “. . . and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.” And from time immemorial Catholic children have been given “Christian concepts on sex” through instructions on the Sixth and Ninth Commandments. Something completely and fundamentally different appears with detailed and explicit lessons provided in classroom sex education. Such lessons often include information scandalous to children. CUF does take a strict position in opposition to all such instructions in the classrooms.
