I read an interesting article today in the Archdiocesan newspaper of New Orleans, the Clarion Herald. Dan Spencer, the founder and director of St. Joseph Center spoke on October 17 at St. Rita’s parish in New Orleans. He called pornography the “sexual Katrina” that is destroying families, men and churches. He said that over 50% of men have a problem with pornography and 10% are addicted. Up to 75% of those addicted to pornography are men, but women are the fastest growing group developing problems with it.
“We are a totally sexualized culture,” he said. “You cannot beat this alone, nor can you help someone if you don’t go to a small faith group. You must get strength from other brothers. Iron sharpens iron. Primarily, you need deep adult conversion. You must ask the son of God to come live in all of you. You must give your whole identity, your whole life to Christ, not just this Sunday stuff…If you email me or let me know, I will work with you. I will call you every week.”

If you are addicted, perhaps you can check him out. Like any addiction, this one plays no favorites, and afflicts the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, the learned and the ignorant, the holy and the sinner.
