 Is this what they teach in Catholic Schools?  Is this the new formation of the Catholic conscience?  The school syllabus that will form the moral and spiritual life of the Catholic?  Are the Shepherds aware what's being taught in our schools?  Apparently, it's the new mantra that "no matter what I do, and how bad I am, whether I am hateful, God will love me unconditionally, and I will be saved."  I look at this acclamation by this third grade teacher to be corrupting those children under her care, and these children will grow up not knowing what the Church actually teaches what is the purpose of our of lives, where we are going, whether it doesn't at all depend whether we love and serve God as His commands us, in the end we will all be there to live happily ever after.  Perhaps this is what we should supplicate and implore Our Lady when we say the Novena.

...only if you are born again and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

That last bit is your addition, and does not appear in the poem at all.


Yes, that was my comment.   I'm profering the gist of what this girl's poem is about.
What are they teaching our children in the Catholic schools?  This should be the concern of every Catholic parent who is sending his child to be educated and formed in the Catholic conscience.  This 8 year old child, bred in the novus ordo catholic education (and perhaps just completed R.E. and made her First Holy Communion), expresses what has been taught to her; if this is her thought (and collectively, the way young Catholics think), in the next 40 years there won't be any true Catholic left.   "God will love no matter if I am bad or good."   What is being "bad"?   This child knows what is bad and will do it  anyway because God will love her anyway.   She doesn't expect any punishment.  The teacher encourages her because God's love is universal and unconditional.  She expects to go to her reward, regardless whether she's been doing bad all her life.

The Protestant version is "accepting Jesus as a personal savior and you are saved."  And this goes on to mean, no matter what you do in life, whether you steal, murder, fornicate, etc., you are assured of your salvation.

I saw this too in our Diocesan Newspaper "Sooner Catholic" (Oklahoma City). At first, I was appalled as you are. (An aside, the FSSP pastor at our dedicated chapel, in one of his sermons, called this paper "a rag, fit only to line our birdcages" !!!--he was referring that time to the whole of the paper being dedicated to the anti-capital punishment mindset of the "New Church" (my term) ).

 

Anyway, if I try real hard to read it differently, I can take it to mean "while we were still in our sin, He loved us" (paraphrase of Romans 5:Cool. Her teachers need to make sure she continues to understand through chapter 6, on dying to sin.
