“Man cannot live without love. He remains a being
that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is
senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not
encounter love, if he does not experience love and
make it his own, if he does not participate intimately
in it.” St. John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis 10

PORN IS EVERYWHERE.
No matter your age, where you live or what you do, everywhere you look, everywhere you travel you will at one point or another be exposed to an image deliberately created to incite lust in your heart at the expense of another human person.
And that is a problem.
A huge problem.
It's not a Catholic Issue, it's a human issue. An issue that effects all of humanity, male or female, rich or poor, Christian or not, the scourge of pornography brings confusion, pain and addiction to every area it touches.
Let's be straight here, Pornography is a business, a very lucrative business. We're talking BILLIONS. About 13 billion a year in the USA alone. The pornographers who run this goldmine do not care who they hurt as long as the result is money. They find men and women to exploit for profit, promising them everything they can as long as they do whatever they ask. And they ask much of these people. They demand nothing short of the innocence and humanity of all involved.
Porn dehumanizes everyone involved. It hurts everyone involved. It enslaves everyone involved.
But the Good News is this.
Jesus Christ came to set us free.

Theology of the body
The 'Theology of the Body' is Pope John Paul II's integrated vision of the human person - body, soul, and spirit. As he explains, the physical human body has a specific meaning and is capable of revealing answers regarding fundamental questions about us and our lives:
- Is there a real purpose to life and if so, what is it?
- Why were we created male and female? Does it really matter if we are one sex or another?
- Why were man and woman called to communion from the beginning? What does the marital union of a man and woman say to us about God and his plan for our lives?
- What is the purpose of the married and celibate vocations?
- What exactly is "Love"?
- Is it truly possible to be pure of heart?
Theology of the body and pornography
The Theology of the Body(TOB) presents to us the meaning of human love, especially the physical expression of Human Love in the Marital Act.
By studying this plan for human sexual love, we can come to an understanding of why pornography is so evil. By understanding the meaning of our creation as male and female persons, we can finally realize the great damage that pornography does to the human heart, the horrible destruction it brings to the human body and the mortal danger it brings the human soul close into.
Does Porn represent authentic human love?
Does it visual express the deepest yearning for physical intimacy that every human heart longs for?
Is the world of pornography true or have we all fallen for a fantasy?
This is what is at stake in this battle against Pornography:
Will we continue to buy into a lie that brings destruction and slavery to the human person or will we stand up and fight the plague of selfishness with the Love and truth that comes from God?
