In a bizarre case a Church was found issuing Sex Diplomas to Teens in Sweden!
‘A “shagging diploma” given to youths at a Church of Sweden confirmation camp proved too much for parents who complained Wednesday that their 14-year-olds were too young for sex.
What to comment?
After attending a course entitled “Love and Sexuality”, the teenagers in the southeastern town of Rödeby were given a certificate and badge stating they were “qualified for sex”.
Vicar Mats-Ola Nylen said the course had been organized by a man purporting to come from the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU), but the church later found out he hadn’t worked for the organization in years.
Suspicions were raised after parents complained to Nylen about the certificates, referred to as “knullborgarmärke”, saying their teenage children weren’t ready for sex.
They were also upset over the use of colloquial phrases like “giving someone a blow job“.
“The whole camp revolves around different aspects of friendships and relationships,” Nylen told AFP, adding that he felt betrayed by the man, who wore a t-shirt from RFSU at the event which took place over the weekend.
“In the past, young people have complained that the Church doesn’t talk about these issues.”
The vicar had asked to listen in on the session but had been asked to stay away by the man, who said having the vicar there would have had an “inhibitive” effect on participants.
Giving 14-year-olds a certificate saying they were ready to “shag” was sending a mixed message, Nylen said.
“Under Swedish law you don’t have a right to engage in sexual activities until you’re 15,” he noted.”
