Ministry to Those who Struggle with Pornography

Priests have a unique opportunity to minister to those who struggle with pornography use or addiction since the confessional is a true sanctuary: a safe, sacred place to find healing. Priests accompany people from birth to death as spiritual fathers and have the advantage of experiential wisdom, having heard many stories of suffering, anguish, and wounds, as well as accounts of healing, forgiveness, and hope. The following suggestions are meant to help the priest in this special ministry. Click the link to read more from Fr David Songy, OFM Cap., S.T.D, Psy.D., president of Saint Luke Institute.
