Does the act of viewing pornography reflect who we are called to be as men and women created in God's image?

If not, it can never fulfill us. What is the truth that sets me free and empowers me to love in God's image and likeness as male and female?  Christ!

Lust threatens mans dignity as a person made in God's image. In the act of viewing pornography man diminishes his dignity and the dignity of the woman or man one is viewing. Social Justice and sexual morality flow from the same vision of a persons dignity. Both are compromised by the choice of serving one's pleasures. 

We all must reckon with the forces of lust within us. Lust does not define the human heart. The heart goes deeper than its distortions. We must give voice to our deepest aspiration by accepting the grace of our on going conversions.

St. Paul tells us that we have lost the interior freedom of the gift. We have lost control of our own bodies and the true desires of our hearts. This in turns makes the act of self giving to our spouses next to impossible. To gain self mastery  again we must turn, we must have a conversion of the heart by the grace of God. To use our free will properly is not to have will power over our choices but a willingness to turn our fragile selves over to the transforming power of God's grace To the degree that we experience this transformation we no longer need the cage: we come freely to desire the good.

The pandemic problem of pornography addiction has infected our culture with a disease that distorts love, changes our brains, objectifies persons, promotes child abuse and slave trafficking and is destroying marriages and souls. We can reverse this by awareness, protecting our children from the internet, and identifying the loneliness, the trauma, the pain, the isolation, the self serving desires that are driving these behaviors.

OUR GOD IS A MERCIFUL GOD AND HE IS NOT HERE TO PUNISH BUT TO SET US FREE TO LOVE AND LIVE A FULL AND BEAUTIFUL LIFE LOVING EACH OTHER IN THE WAY THAT CHRIST LOVES THE CHURCH.

MANY ARE CAUGHT IN THIS TRAP, THERE IS A WAY OUT BY THE LOVE, MERCY AND GRACE OF GOD. LET OUR GOD GENTLY LEAD YOU BACK TO HIM ON  A NEW PATH TO HOLINESS. THE ONLY LOVE THAT SATISFIES IS OUR TRIUNE GOD. HE IS WAITING FOR YOUR YES.


A definition for addiction:  A pathological relationship with a mood altering substance or process that has life threatening consequences.
