Dealing with pornography - Bishop Finn writes to his flock

Bishop Robert W. Finn, of the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph in Missouri USA, has written a pastoral letter on pornography. As Dr. Jeff Mirus of CatholicCulture.org says, "This is the most comprehensive episcopal statement yet on one of the thorniest problems of our time."

Dr. Mirus goes on to say:
Bishop Finn's letter covers all the bases, offering statistics showing the widespread negative impact of pornography on personal and family life, a rich Catholic perspective, an effective spiritual solution, and practical recommendations for fighting not only hard but smart. If you're facing this problem yourself or in your family, start with this outstanding guide.
