I went to a Catholic High School pretty recently.
We learned what all my friends in the public system learned, with a little bit extra emphasis on the dangers of STI's and a lot more on the I guess, spiritual aspect of sex. There was no homosexual condemnations, no lake of fire crap, all pretty vanilla. We were taught about the church's attitude on contraceptives but we still learned about all contraceptive methods. We learned this in what was technically religion class, but by high school we rarely were taught scripture, more real word stuff like sex ed, also a whole year on other world religions, and things like successful marriage building and relationships. I actually found it all pretty valuable and interesting.
I really have to laugh at all the hysteria some people have about the Catholic system, it's not grounded in reality at all.
