+Michael Jacques Let’s Talk About Porn   October 17, 2013  Sam Guzman  //www.catholicgentleman.net/2013/10/lets-talk-about-porn/ Let’s talk about porn. I know it it’s an uncomfortable subject, but ignoring it will do no good. The fact is, pornography addiction is a massive and growing problem—especially for men. If you don’t believe me, here are some shocking statistics:12% of websites online are pornographicEvery second, over 28,000 people are looking at porn40 million Americans are regular porn viewers70% of men aged 18-24 regularly look at pornThe average age children are first exposed to porn is 11 years old I could cite many more disturbing stats, but you get the point. Keep in mind the above statistics are at least two years old, and the rate of porn use is increasing exponentially every year. These statistics are probably on the conservative side. What porn will do to you It is difficult to exaggerate just how evil pornography is. It will destroy your marriage (or religious vocation) and other relationships. It will corrupt your intellect, emotions, and will, filling your mind with thousands of vile images that won’t go away. It will pull you deeper and deeper in, until you are looking at perversions you could not have imagined. It will become a need so intense you can no longer function normally without it. It will drive you to act on evil impulses, perhaps leading to sexual violence. It will rack you with guilt, driving you from your Creator and Redeemer. It will become everything to you. It will consume you. It will destroy your soul and send you to hell. Porn is not a harmless private habit. It is a cancer that will work its way into every area of your life, corrupting everything.  I don’t say all this to discourage someone who may be struggling with pornography. Rather, my hope is that, if you are struggling, you will take it seriously and get help as soon as possible. What to do Yes, pornography is a big problem, but guess what, Jesus Christ is bigger. He has conquered sin and death, and he can destroy the sin in your life through his grace. Never despair, never lose hope in the power and mercy of God. I want to give you 7 things to do right now if you are struggling with pornography. 1. Don’t trust yourself – The number one way to fall in your struggle against sexual sin is to depend upon yourself. The minute you trust yourself and your own self-control, you will fall very soon afterwards. Acknowledge you have a problem and have a healthy distrust of yourself. Then, do whatever is necessary to prevent a fall.Install filters on your computers. In fact, get rid of your computer or smartphone if they are causing you to fall. Be radical. Jesus said, “If your eye offends you, pluck it out.” Whatever you do, don’t believe you can handle this by yourself, which leads me to my next point. 2. Get help – You cannot win this battle alone. You need the support of others, and you need accountability. As hard as it might be, find a man you can trust and ask if he will be your accountability partner. I strongly urge you to also enroll in a program like RECLAiM Sexual Health. This is a completely anonymous Catholic program designed to help men recover from pornography addiction. 3. Go to confession – Guilt has a perverse way of driving us to the very thing that can heal us from it—confession. Do not let guilt or shame drive you from confessing your sins. Force yourself to go even if it is the last thing you want to do. Penance is a sacrament that gives us grace and strength, heals our souls, and bathes us in the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Cheat the devil of his victory and receive the mercy of Jesus. If you need extra motivation, study the Divine Mercy message. No matter what you’ve looked at, you can always find abundant mercy in the confessional. Who cares how you feel. Just go!4. Receive the Eucharist as often as possible – Receiving Jesus in the Eucharist is not a reward for good behavior, it is a remedy for the sickness of sin. Never receive him in a state of mortal sin, but also don’t avoid this most powerful sacrament because you feel unworthy. Go to confession as often as possible, and then receive Jesus as shortly afterwards as possible. The powerful combination of these two sacraments will change your life. 5. Consecrate yourself to Mary – Our Lady is the refuge of sinners and the hope of the guilty. She specializes in protecting and helping her children. That’s her whole job as your mother. Consecrating your life entirely to her is a powerful method for conquering the power of the devil. Do it today, and begin the practice of 3 Hail Marys for purity. 6. Join the Angelic Warfare Confraternity – I won’t go into all the details of this powerful confraternity, but suffice it to say that many men have found participation in it to be a powerful help against temptations to sexual sin. Find out how you can join here. 7. Be patient – Finally, never give up. We have a tendency to want instant results, and if we do not see them we give up and assume freedom will never come. That simply isn’t true. While radical transformations can happen, most of the time change does not happen immediately. If you fall, do not despair. Always look to Christ and his most blessed Mother. Pick yourself up and keep fighting the good fight.(If you are feeling discouraged, read St. Maximilian Kolbe’s advice on repeated, serious sin.//www.catholicgentleman.net/2013/08/14/st-maximilian-kolbe-on-serious-sin/ Conclusion Men, please, I beg you, do not take pornography lightly. It is so incredibly destructive. If you aren’t struggling with it, thank God for his grace, for that is the only thing keeping you from it. But never pridefully assume you are immune to it. If you are struggling with it, please get help today. Never forget, Jesus loves you with all the love of his Sacred Heart. He died for you, he is on your side, and he wants to deliver you.Finally, let’s be strong men of purity, chaste and holy and fighting to preserve the garment of salvation we have received in Holy Baptism. May God help us to do so.

@HannahBoltForever im sorry about that for you. as you can see, i deleted my vent. i dont waant ppl to get scared. again, im hiding. I just cant help it. today i was even joking about it with my friends, but they dont know how much im actually hurting inside. nobody can ever see it. thank you so much for the motivation, i really needed it. im sorry your depressed too and if you need to talk, just PM me ^^ also, i would be interested in you life story! ;) dumbo does need to be used more. ive used

@888WolfStar treatment?" im terrible ;) but then his collar, nose, and ears disappeared. hes already rotting!! XD id love to hear your life story :) aww, thanks! but youve come even farther. im kinda at my limit, ya know? but you, you just keep improving Angie and its so amazing :)

Blerb, kay I got more to say. First, I think this really shows your true editing talent. I love all your vids, but this one is just, wow! :D Also, I like how u use Dumbo, it's a really underused movie and I love seeing it in anything :3 Im trying to edit with it more myself ^^ And another thing, I can agree with what you think about this song. We're still young, we've got a ways to go. The way I see it? Childhood is enjoying yourself. Adulthood is making yourself known. Teenage years are just...

This. is. brilliance

@CodyTheHusky You're such an inspiration to me. youre the first editor i ever really watched, so for to say all tht means so much to me

@888WolfStar aww, thank you! it was actually going to be dedicated to you (cuz youre going through a rough time), but because of my life story i couldnt fit it in :/ just know that ;D ive actually thought about aalmost doing all older songs, unless of course i get inspiration for modern ones. my friend maggie really has me addicted to my childhood music xD i threw in some aleu there for you ;) i love copper, he isnt used, like ever. so i thought "why not give him the old dog dying by the fire

You should be VERY proud of this video. It's really incredible! I especially like the fact that you used the entire song. Not many AMV makers, myself included, use entire songs because we're really lazy, haha! Anyway, AMAZING job with this. I LOVE it!

(cont) what i noticed? That you started the video with baby Simba and ended it with him when he is looking up at the sky in the rain claiming the kingdom back. I love how you did that

@4yr7ryleeroo You're so welcome ^.^ Really!? O.O Dude, you are too amazing

@WideyedCamoflage13 I wanted to keep it simple. ^^ I was afraid I might have overdone the text, so thank you for your comment on that. I'm still in my freshman year of highschool, and I already worry about the future so I cant even imagine college. I don't even know what you must be feeling right now. All in all, thank you! This one of the deepest, most personal comments I've ever received and I treasure those greatly. Thank you again, so much, and good luck with your life! ;)

I completely know how you feel. Heck, I've been depressed since I was 12 and it's still sticking with me. I would cry at least once a week myself. And same here about the acting okay thing. People would be like "since when were u sad?", not knowing I was sad the whole time. I think the life story thing sounds cool! If I can find anyone interested in mine I might give it a try ;) Epic vid and remember, u can always PM me if u wanna talk about something, I love helping people :3

This video is abouslutely gourgous...simple yet so effective. The useage of the text and the choices of the clips were on spot~ It also hit me on a personal note; with going to college soon, it really makes you think about what your life is going to be like from then on... In that case, I'm actucally really glad I came across this ^_^ Your style of story-telling is incredable, not many editors on YouTube these days have this aspect; keep up the great work~

THIS. *calls everyone in the AMV community over to watch* THIS is what a REAL AMV is. My gosh, I've probably watched this at least 5 times! It's truly AMAZING. I love the coloring you used in this. It's like a mixture of brightness but with a soft contrast, which I think is real pleasing to the eyes! And it fits the mood of the song and video. And the clips you used all fit PERFECTLY. The on-screen lyrics were AWESOME and not a fancy font, which I LOVE!

I love how you do text bro..it's so snazzy(: I remember I first heard this song when I was coming back from sledding..xD I was like 6..and I remember I was like..sleeping in the back of our car with my stuffed horse, Bill, I brought everywhere.xD Then Mr. Delcore played this song for us, and I fell in love with it again...it's just so beautiful&touching.

@CodyTheHusky dont get used enough, so i changed it. rendering made coppers ears and nose disappear, but its alright xD i barley ever use the whole song either, i dont know how i did for this one. its just such an amazing song that I couldnt cut it :) nobody's ever given me this detailed of a comment, or featured the video on their channel. ^^ it means so much, thank you with all of my heart :)

As depressing as it sounds I actually can't wait to die so I can see my past family and pets but also I would want to live so I could have a family and feel love, get a job, drive, etc. This song describes me in so many ways! I have so much time to think about the future, but also my days of being a teenager shorten each and every day. Ugh life is a good and a bad thing.

@4yr7ryleeroo >D I don't think so. Ur style is so different, i feel as if mine isn't really progressing much latly. Maybe because i haven't made really anything. I'm gonna try to work a it more on my art because i'm going to art college (i hope) in like 2 years. Need to work on animation. Yes, i did :) i love how you did that.

aww, thanks! i can help you any time, if ya want ^^ ill gladly walk you through either Sony Vegas Movie Studio or Window Live Movie Maker. with anything else, i can try but ive only used Vegas and WMM, nothing else. just message me if ya need anything.(:

(cont) waiting for that. I just keep reminding myself that those years will be here before I know it, and the people that put me down in middle and high school will finally feel sorry. So keep reminding yourself that :)

@888WolfStar haha, dude! thats an amazing idea!!!! I would so audition! would we do grease? cuz i love me some grease

@HannahBoltForever it in videos but ive never actually finished any of those so nobody even knows it xD it needs to be used much, much more. aww, thank you! it means so much to me. youre a fantastic editor yourself ^^

had a few minutes to kill before bedtime so i thought id watch this in full. gosh, idk what you're saying cuz this is incredibly well done. very simple yet very effective, and the song is very meaningful :)

okay, im pretty sure ive gone over them all in there at least once. xD sorry for the giant list, if you want to know one at a specific time i can tell you that i guess. haha, thank you and sorry ;D

This is an absolutely ASTOUNDING music video for a fantastic song. Great choice of clips, matched well with the lyrics. Very emotionally compelling. Deserving of a fave. Keep up the great work!

sorry for late response ^^' thank you so much, your comments are always so encouraging. :) i cant believe this is almost a year old. now i actually am 15. GAHHH im getting way too old

aww, im soory! i dont want to make ya cry, but hopefully they were tears of joy ;) thank you so much, i cant thank you enough for this comment. it means a lot to me.

aww this song is perfect, I love the video :) it is soft with not to many effects its just perfect

Would you mind listing all of these movies? There are some here that I don't recognize that I'm curious about =P This is great though, I subbed.
