Pope Francis reminded the Church of her calling to become a “field hospital” for the wounded of the world. All of us are wounded, starting with Original Sin and its consequences as well as our own sins. In the wake of the so-called sexual revolution, many have been hurt by their own sins, the sins of others, confusion, and broken relationships and families. In particular, the effects of pornography on the soul can be deep, and the use of pornography itself can be a sign of other emotional wounds. No wound is so deep, however, as to be out of the reach of Christ’s redeeming grace.
Bishop Fernandes has called on the parishes of the Diocese of Columbus to fight back against the effects of pornography in our culture and in our families. On January 29, our diocese celebrated Safe Haven Sunday, when we will universally pray for an end to pornography and offer healing for those affected by it.
