• Relevant facts about the prevalence of pornographic images in our everyday lives and the ease of access to it all on their cell phones for young people.
• A look at the often-misunderstood, long-term damage that the pervasiveness of pornographic images can do to emotional and spiritual growth as well as present and future relationships.
• A disconnect between our understanding of freedom and the reality of sexual exploitation.
• Using the lens of St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body to unpack the morality of our pornographic culture and how to help our family and friends counter it.
• Resources to help you understand the brain science and the harm being done to society.

This evening session will be dedicated to a discussion on the dangers of pornography and practical ways to counter it.
The team will explore this difficult topic through the beautiful theological developments of Saint John Paul II’s writings known as the Theology of the Body.
