Create in Me a Pure Heart

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has released a new 10th anniversary edition of Create in Me a Pure Heart: A Pastoral Response to Pornography. This edition features a new preface by the bishops’ Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth. The committee remarks, “Over the past decade since the initial publication of this pastoral response to pornography, resistance to this serious issue has diminished among the general public. The document was essential at that time, and it remains crucial today.
 
”Pope Francis recognized the problems posed by pornography, and he spoke out powerfully against it. But he also had tremendous compassion toward those who struggle with pornography.” Shared here on the CMCS side blog.

“CMCS has been a great help in my walk with Christ on a daily basis.  I am surrounded by secular surroundings everyday and CMCS brings me “home.”  This group of men keep me grounded and express charity and humility, which is not easy to find these days.  The opportunity to listen to the wisdom of Bishop Perry is always enlightening and helps me in my growth in understanding the beauty of the Catholic faith.”

“My benefit from CMCS comes from the community of men I gather with and, our shared, interests, desires, and struggles with leading a Christian life.  Our community helps me realize that I am not alone as I strive to be a servant of God.  In this age where we race from chore to chore, and responsibility to responsibility CMCS provides me an opportunity to take time and think about God.  A time to step back to think about where I am at, where I have been, and where I want to be in God’s eyes when I enter eternity.  Of course the wisdom and guidance provided to us through the words of Bishop Perry are as the commercial says ………….. PRICELESS.”
