Perhaps not, but try not to concern yourself with controlling other people's tone. That's my job.
Gotcha. Sorry about that!

It just means that if you open up the Catechism, under sexual morality, it will explain that sex is meant for husband and wife. I'm not talking about abstinence only education in schools. I agree that they should be objectively taught about birth control.
You are directly in opposition to the Catholic Church on that. The Catholic approach to this issue is to insist on abstinence only education and to deny reality:

I am aware that many people in the Church are advocates of abstinence only programs. However, there is no Catholic law that says "thou must support abstinence only programs." Lol. This can be a matter of opinion. I am not going against Church laws by having this opinion. So long as I don't condone premarital sex amongst teens, I may still have the opinion that they can objectively be taught about contraception.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
