Reflection
We are created with a
desire to love and be loved. We long to be known, understood, and accepted for
who we are. In contrast, pornography distracts us from our call to love by objectifying
people and bringing hurt and pain. As noted in Create in Me a Clean Heart, “it is an illusory substitute for real
relationships and intimacy, which in the end bring true joy.”
However, “no wound is out
of the reach of Christ's redeeming grace. Christ is our hope! The Church
proclaims the truth about love, sexuality, and the dignity of each person, and
she seeks to provide the Lord’s mercy and healing for those harmed by
pornography. … For
