The power of porn to corrupt and destroy is great. But as the Fathers for Good special section on pornography declares, “Men Are Stronger than Porn.”
There are many resources on this site to help men, women and families combat this evil that has burst out of the “unmarked brown wrapper” of magazines and spread like a virus on the internet. We have a story about how porn can ruin marriages and lives, and a podcast with a Catholic deacon who overcame his porn addiction.
Please become informed about porn and do all you can to resist this insidious evil – and most of all keep it away from children, who can access it so easily – even by chance – on the computer.
For us men, the temptation is great – right there with computer screen pop-ups and ads that show pretty women with intriguing smiles and the promise of chat or dates. Whenever I see these enticements on my screen, I think of the deception and lies behind it all, and the corruption the porn industry breeds. I think of the harm to the women who are involved in it, the sad lives of those who engage in it, and the power and money I would hand over to this evil industry if I were to click just once.
A man at the screen with his hand on the mouse is involved in the great drama of our age – the type of drama that inspired the “psychomachia” plays of medieval days, with an angel on one shoulder whispering “don’t do it!” and the devil on the other saying “C’mon, no one gets hurt.”
Just one click and your life can change for the worse! Tread carefully.
We will have more in coming days on the theme “Men Are Stronger than Porn!”
Stay tuned.
It's great to see the Knights tackle the porn issue. More men are involved than we'll ever know.
Keep spreading the word on how to fight this family menace of porn.

Very good points. There is so much garbage in our face every day, and we have to be prepared to look the other way.
Don't click!
