PASTOR’S CORNER
The movie, Fifty Shades of Grey, is being shown
in theaters across America. You may have heard or read
that Archbishop Schnurr issued a statement about the
movie.
The story line is presented as a romance; however, the
underlying theme is that bondage, dominance, and
sadomasochism are normal and pleasurable. In the story
line, a young Miss Steele is urged to sign a contract
becoming a sex slave and agreeing to an abusive and
degrading relationship. This movie is in direct contrast to
the Christian message of God’s design for self-giving and
self-sacrificing love, marriage and sexual intimacy. The
movie is a direct assault on Christian marriage and on the
moral and spiritual strength of God’s people. We need to
inform our people about the destructive message of this
movie and to highlight the beauty of God’s design for
loving relationships between a husband and wife in the
bond of marriage.
Personally, I again encourage couples to consider
either a Marriage Encounter weekend or other kind of
retreat.
While sexual expression is
important to marriage, it is not essential.
The movie seems to lift it up while
demeaning commitment.

They see you in the pew each Sunday participating in
Mass and doing good works in your life. So you are
already involved in the RCIA by being a member of
the Body of Christ. You set an example of faith to
these seekers who want to join Christ.
