Father Sattler told the Family
Life Institute that "sex educa-
ton" should not be merely set
of instructions on the "facts of
life" Since sex is the quality of
being male or female" the
priest-author noted, "it is most
important that boys and girls
learn that the role of man and
woman in society is and should
be basically different"
Father Sattler also outlined
philosophy of love and pointed
out how such a philosophy could
be integrated into the life of a
child from birth to maturity.
"True awareness of the mystery
of maleness and femaleness must
continue an entire lifetime, even
after marriage" he said.
