Hello, Catholic Pilgrims. Welcome back to another beautiful day with St. Francis.
Today, we are covering chastity, so you may want to be wary of younger ears being present.
’ve mentioned before that my Masters is in Applied Behavioral Science where I specialized in studying sexual violence crimes. It would be an understatement to say that I have dealt with unchastity on unprecedented levels.
It isn’t pleasant I can tell you that. Sexual impurity has always been around, so its nothing new. What is new is the level at which chastity is scorned and ridiculed. In fact, being impure is not only encouraged, but celebrated and promoted on levels we’ve never seen before.
Consequently, this means that I had to deal with the fallout and rarely do people have to deal with the fallout and so they brush it off. Most people do not have to deal with the lives that have been destroyed by a world that has encouraged people in sexual impurity. One of the reasons that people don’t have to deal with it is because our culture tells people these lies and then when people are broken and battered because of believing the lies, we don’t want to listen or help because it makes us uncomfortable.
St. Francis is going to talk to us today about chastity and it’s a subject very near and dear to my heart. Let’s open to Chapter Twelve of the Third Part.
