The importance of emotional sexual education. – CONFERENCES by Mons. Munilla

The importance of sexual affective education and well, I’m going to start with an approach that may surprise you when diagnosing the crisis, not the one we want to focus on. I would propose to see which comes first, the chicken or the egg, the famous dilemma see what comes first, the chicken or the egg, I mean to say where the heart of the matter is in the educational emergency or in the emotional emergency, how to submit, Benedict XVI especially highlighted the educational emergency, he spoke explicitly of that term in many educational meetings said that it was almost a consequence of relativism relativism has given birth to the educational emergency and well we have seen it in us on the front line in what is so many school failures the deterioration the deterioration of the educational level even to the point of I believe that there are many humorous jokes about the cultural level etcetera etcetera well the educational crisis is obvious and Benedict XVI comes to say that it is the result of relativism and there is a phrase that for me is emblematic of ethics educating in relativism is like pretend to learn to swim to swim in a pool without water very difficult very difficult to swim in a pool without water educate without wanting to and the truth is it is not possible so that is an assured educational crisis well this is I don’t know if it is the chicken or the egg but this It is an option that the educational crisis is the problem the other the other binomial the the emergency the affective emergency the affective emergency perhaps more typical of postmodernism Pope Francis has perhaps highlighted it especially it is true that although Pope Benedict spoke explicitly of educational emergency I have not Listening to Pope Francis, he will use the term affective emergency, but obviously when it comes to putting things forward, I believe that it is part of that awareness of an affective emergency, which may even be more serious than the educational emergency, but which has more obvious immediate consequences. devastating more more visible than the educational emergency I remember that I had a speech at the first youth pastoral congress that was held in Spain, it was held in Valencia in the year two thousand and twelve, which by the way there has not been a second congress here that I received, it was the first and we are waiting the second and there I gave a presentation that changed my life, that is, I mean it changed my life in the sense that from then on I observed that what they asked of you, what they demanded of you, was totally related to what you had talked about. So the type of topics that I used to talk about in my talks, from that presentation I saw that what was on the other hand was on the side of the affective emergency, the title of the talk was the evangelization of young people in the face of the affective emergency and I There in that presentation I held a thesis and the thesis was that there are three great wounds: narcissism, pansexualism, putting sex in everything, no, and the mistrust that is generated or the disappointment that is the result of life’s disappointments, three wounds, no, narcissism, transsexualism. and mistrust, three key wounds of postmodernity that lead us to break with our Christian roots and are three emotional wounds that need to be accompanied, healed and addressed so that the new evangelization is possible. So I do not forget the dilemma that I have said that it is first the chicken or the egg to see what comes first, the educational emergency or the emotional emergency, when the truth is not known, what is God, the foundation, the foundation of everything that exists, then we suffer a lot and then that emptiness. We try to compensate by begging for affection
