By Lee GreenbergTORONTO — Two prominent Ottawa Catholic leaders — including Archbishop Terrence Prendergast — spoke out Wednesday on the province’s new sex-ed curriculum, pointing to what appears to be an emerging rift between the government and its publicly funded Catholic schools. McGuinty seems to be misinformed here,” said Jan Bentham, co-ordinator of religious and family life education for the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Homosexuality won’t be raised in Catholic schools until Grade 8, according to Bentham, when it will be covered “from a faith perspective,” she said. Catholic teaching considers homosexual acts to be “disordered.”The new, Catholic version of the controversial sexual education curriculum will be released by the ICE in early fall, said Bentham. “This is the Ontario curriculum, and it’s the curriculum for all schools and all students,” Dombrowsky said Wednesday.
