With the influence of motion pictures, the playing field
has become one of shamelessness, as it is now clear.
To change that will mean individuals seek hope in their
lives, not despair. Life can be tough, but it is hope that
carries the individual on towards an eternal life.
Catholics are slow to admit to the quantity of TV etc,
that the watch, and this reluctance eventually
percolates out into community life, so that values
of motion picture are translated out. Loss of values
of antecedents manifests itself in society, so that today,
few if any males have not viewed some porn.
Porn and domestic violence are linked, and if the
latter is on the rise, it is because Good Catholics are
not discriminatory about TV.
For the devout Catholic hope is crucial, but when his
or her friends have succumbed to the influence of TV,
the sense of the Sacred is slowly lost.
Restoration of shame is one of the benefits of those
who seek a more intense life of Christ in Catholic
charismatic renewal. These are they who are the
prophets of hope. Suppression of CCR or of
downplaying its effectiveness is to attempt to
downplay the living God, the Holy Spirit, and this
leads to the irreverence of the Divine, and disinterest
in holiness. Sanctification is the most important aspect
in every individual’s life, and hope in eternal life is
a major factor in the life of Christ. This is why it
is important to recognise that there is now no dichotomy
between charismatic and Sacrament.
This topic needs to be reflected upon deeply by all
members of the church.
