Spiritual Desolation

Porn is lust and lust is a major sin. As Jesus stated in Matthew 5:28 (NRSVCE), “But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” The basis of porn is lust, so we can infer from Matthew 5:28 that Porn ISAdultery. Porn, lust, and adultery are all serious sins and these sins separate us from God, resulting in spiritual desolation. This can be rectified!How? Through confession and forgiveness. For Catholics, the beautiful sacrament of Reconciliation is necessary. On a personal note, as a Catholic Christian I have found that the sacrament of reconciliation (confession) to be the most wonderful part of the Church. The lifting of sin and receiving the grace of forgiveness from God is an experience that is second to none. For non-Catholics, confession to God and to another person in accountability is an absolute for removing darkness from the behavior and eventual freedom from enslavement.
