The Church's message of purity is not a condemnation but a calling to authentic human love. It is an invitation for men to master their impulses and to allow Christ to transform the way they view women. When this happens, they become who they are--sons of God and earthly icons of the Heavenly Father. St. Josemaría Escrivá said, "There is need for a crusade of manliness and purity to counteract and nullify the savage work of those who think man is a beast. And that crusade is your work."[8]
Therefore, if you own any pornography, destroy it and defend your ability to love all women with a clean heart.
"The alternative is clear: either man governs his passions and finds peace, or he lets himself be dominated by them and becomes unhappy."
--Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2339
"Each man must look within himself to see whether she who was entrusted to him as a sister in humanity . . . has not become in his heart an object of adultery."[1]
--Pope John Paul II
"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you to be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
--1 Corinthians 10:13
