Pornography addiction is the number one addiction in the United States. Many doctors say it’s easier to break an addiction to crack cocaine than to stop using porn. Pornography is THE silent epidemic and it is killing authentic manhood among many other things! Porn has a choke-hold on our society. In the past, a person would have to go out of his way to view pornography but now, one has to go out of his way NOT to be bombarded with porn. It's everywhere! From the checkout line, to television ads, to the radio top 40; America could be described as "pornafide".
The statistics are truly staggering. More than 70% of men from 18 to 34 visit a pornographic site in a typical week. Almost half of all families report pornography is a problem in their home and the majority of divorces cite frequent porn use as a reason for divorce. Every second roughly $3,000 is being spent on pornography. Every second 30,000 Internet users are viewing pornography. In that same second 372 Internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines. Every 39 minutes a new pornographic video is being created in the U.S.
It’s a huge business. Last year the pornographic industry made more than the major networks combined!
Now your question might be, “So why fight back with a name like ‘P.O.R.N. Militia’"??? We are called to fight! The answer is: because it's time to
fight back. It's time to embrace true manhood. It's time to form a militia.
What is a
militia? A secular definition would be: a body of citizens organized for military service. We are not calling for "hand to hand" physical combat but more like what St. Paul is talking about in Ephesians 6:11-12 "
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil." Or in this reference:
"There is no holiness without renunciation and spiritual battle." 2015 CCC and finally this quote:
“Labour as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.” 2 Timothy 2:3.
What do we do at P.O.R.N. Militia? First and foremost we pray for healing of all those who are hurt by the "adult industry" and we:
P.erpetually
O.ffer
R.osaries
N.ightly
We form small men’s groups to provide support for men who struggle with purity.
We reach out to women trapped in the "adult" industry.
We educate the public on how harmful porn is, and we evangelize true sexuality.
We encourage men to be men and embrace true masculinity—which is sainthood.
We promote a 21 day purity "boot camp"
We organize protests and take up legal action against in "adult industry"
The whole concept for the P.O.R.N. Militia can be summed up from the thoughts of
St. Josemaria Escriva:
"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."
That statement is a call to take arms! Purity is the new rebellious. Join the real sexual revolutionn today!
