Satan Loves Porn

In Elise Harris’s report about the Instrumentum laboris [working document] of the upcoming 15th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops (Youth Synod), she states that among the “key issues” mentioned are not only “increasing cultural instability and violent conflicts” but also that “many young people, both inside and outside of the Church, are divided when it comes to topics related to sexuality.”

Frankly, I doubt that when the bishops meet in October they’ll show us a new path to world peace, whereas they probably could help people – young and old – to better understand the truth about sexuality. It’s time we had a thorough, clinical restatement of Humane vitae! God alone knows, of course, what may actually emerge from the Synod.

Ms. Harris adds:

Things such as precocious sexuality, sexual promiscuity, pornography, displaying one’s body online and sexual tourism, the text said, “risk disfiguring the beauty and depth of emotional and sexual life.”

Although dated May 8th, the Instrumentum laboris was made public just last week, and, as of today, the text is available on the Vatican website only in Italian.
