Pornography and the Family
Pornography viewing leads to a loss of interest in good family relations
Married men who are involved in pornography feel less satisfied with their conjugal relations and less emotionally attached to their wives
Pornography use is a pathway to infidelity and divorce, and is frequently a major factor in these family disasters
Pornography and the Individual
Pornography is addictive, and neuroscientists are beginning to map the biological substrate of this addiction
Users tend to become desensitized to and bored with the type of pornography they use, seeking more perverse forms of sexual imagery
Men who view pornography regularly have a higher tolerance for abnormal sexuality, including rape, sexual aggression, and sexual promiscuity
Prolonged consumption of pornography by men produces notions of women as commodities or as "sex objects
Pornography engenders greater sexual permissiveness, leading to a greater risk of out-of-wedlock births and STDs
Child-sex offenders are more likely to view pornography regularly or to be involved in its distribution
Pornography changes the habits of the mind, and its use can easily become habitual, leading to desensitization, boredom, distorted views of reality, and an objectification of women (and of men)
Pornography and the Community
The presence of sexually-oriented businesses significantly harms the surrounding community, leading to increases in crime and decreases in property values
Pornography viewing and sexual offense are inextricably linked
There is a connection between the consumption of violent pornography with behavioral aggression and the incidence of rape
Today's media-saturated society has made it much harder for parents to protect their children from pornography
The growth of digital media and the internet have allowed pornographers to harness technology for their own profits

Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties
It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other
It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others
It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world
It is a grave offense
Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials.

Pornography is any material depicting or describing the human body or sexual conduct in a way that arouses sexual feelings
It is distributed through many media, including magazines, books, television, movies, music, and the Internet
It is as harmful to the spirit as tobacco, alcohol, and drugs are to the body
Pornography is tragically addictive
Like other addictions, it leads people to experiment and to seek more powerful stimulations
If you experiment with it and allow yourself to remain caught in its trap, it will destroy you, degrading your mind, heart, and spirit
It will rob you of self-respect and of your sense of the beauties of life
It will tear you down and lead you to evil thoughts and possibly evil actions
It will cause terrible damage to your family relationships.
