Do you know someone for whom porn is becoming a problem, interfering in personal relationships and work?
At their November 2015 General Assembly, the United States Bishops approved the formal Statement, “Create in Me a Clean Heart: A Pastoral Response to Pornography.” The full text of this statement can be found through the USCCB website. In part the text reads, “The Church as a field hospital is called to proclaim the truth of the human person in love, to protect people – especially children – from pornography, and to provide the Lord’s mercy and healing for those wounded by pornography.
FR. PETE (cont.) Many means of support are available for those who have been harmed by pornography and who desire to be free from it and its effects.” There are some wonderful websites you can utilize: http://www.archkck.org/ss_freedomfrom-pornography_spousal healing http://theporneffect.com/ http://reclaimsexualhealth.com/ http://www.sa.org/ http://dads.org/category/breaking-freeblog/ http://www.freedom-coaching.net/ http://integrityrestored.com/
