Please don’t trot out the word pornographic as a routine and hackneyed misrepresentation of the sexual act and matters sexual – whether ‘licit’ or not so.

Sex, per se, is not pornographic, in whatever natural and unperverse form it may take.

It is human, at its best beautiful, and, even when less so, never evil. I, as a once seriously and rigidly raised Catholic, recognise and condemn the harm and misery inflicted on generations ansd millions, over centuries, by this demonisation of one of the most, possibly THE most, compelling and irresistble forces of our human nature – the one which, for better and so often, worse, admittedly, has governed our life – it can be a force for evil, preying on human frailty and imperfection, but equally for immense delight, happiness and fulfilment.

It is NEVER, per se, evil and thus not pornographic!

In reply to Francis.

There´s not any “pornographic scenes”in this movie.
There’s one romantic intimate scene, minute and half, and has nothing forbbiden in it.

Pity, she was a fiction character, there´s any Madame de Barra in Versailles history.
She doesn’t exist, and that’s sad.

Why are movies with pornographic scenes reviewed on NZ Catholic’s website? Does the reviewer not know that to watch pornographic scenes is mortally sinful? The review should have been “The warning label said it contains sex scenes, therefore is gravely offensive to Our Lord Jesus Christ. So do not watch this nor let anyone in your family watch it”. Or something along those lines.
