PARIS, France, March 3, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — A Catholic school in Paris has apologized for handing out a pamphlet to students that forthrightly defends Christian teaching on sex and the sanctity of life.

The 80-page booklet, written by Fr. Jean-Benoît Casterman, is titled, "How to have a successful love and sex life." It encourages abstinence, frankly addresses same-sex attraction, and discourages abortion.

Parents were "horrified," according to Express.co.uk.

..
In the booklet, Fr. Casterman writes that the causes of homosexual attraction are complex, but that homosexuals "are often the victims of abuse," or may have grown up "with either under-protective or overprotective parents."

The priest says says that people do not choose their sexual orientation, and for this reason, "homosexuals deserve our full consideration."

Encouraging his readers to look to Christ for help, Fr. Casterman writes that “your sexual orientation does not define you," adding, "Do not succumb to temptation."

"Most gay people are deeply unhappy," Fr. Casterman warns, writing that "only heterosexual couples can experience sexual bliss." He writes, "Homosexuality will always be problematic."

..
he traditional priest also writes straightforwardly against abortion. His booklet explains that having an abortion causes “psychological distress” and post-abortive women often suffer “trauma, anxiety and depression.”

“Abortion is an irreparable act," Fr. Casterman warns. "It is a decision that you will regret and that will haunt you for the rest of your life."
