The following essay was written by Vagary Eaton, a spirituality life coach (inspired by another spirituality writer, who shall remain nameless)
who writes a regular column for FLUX, which covers all things claiming
to be Catholic-ish. It was forwarded to me by my old friend Billy Shakespeare, who said,
"Lord, what fools these mortals be!":
Anti-porn bias: How hateful and narrow-minded does the Church really want to be?
The world is crying out for love and a little bit of innocent, old-fashioned titillation, but the Church continues to be on the wrong side of history: fully clothed, blushing, and prurient to the point of irrelevancy. With so many other pressing problems in the worlds—clerical sex abuse, anyone?—the Catholic Church continues to cling to its antiquated, medieval belief that pornography is a "sin". What is this: the 1950s?
