The question of whether or not media porn is a sin has sometimes been discussed, although I don't recall the issue being aired on the A/E Board.
What is your opinion ?
Seems like media porn has received the tacit approval of the RCC; it's heavily invested in the industry. I doubt, however, that this approval rises to the authoritative level of the nihil obstat and imprimatur. I wonder if an indulgence attaches to this.

Perhaps there is a sub-cult in the Vatican, like in the 1987 Dragnet Movie, where the religious leader (played by Christopher Plummer) pretends to be fighting corruption but is really the leader of a group called P.A.G.A.N. (People Against Goodness And Normalcy) : 0

Nino, This has gone far, far beyond the level of faux pas innocent. The whole Vatican operation is an organized criminal enterprise, complex and far-reaching enough to put the Mafia to shame. There's the world-wide sexual abuse scandal with the official Vatican policy of cover-up and obfuscation. There's the Vatican Bank corruption and money laundering operation. There the baby-theft-and-selling cabal in Spain. Now the RCC-Deutschlands is the owner of a major porn publishing-distribution complex. Idea ! Elect Larry Flynt the next Pope. He could be known as Papa Porno. BTW --- I remember watching "Dragnet" on b&w t.v. as a little kid; I loved it; still do when I catch it in re-runs. Jack Webb would make a no-nonsense, up-against-the-wall-@$$hole, Pope. He was a wooden character with steel teeth and starched boxer shorts. He'd clean up the RCC real fast ---- and still have time to catch a puff on his Fatima cigarettes. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/00/J... I remember him whipping-out his pack of Fatimas, lighting-up, taking a deep drag --- right on down to his toe nails --- and advising the witnesses "just the facts, ma'am; just the facts". Jack Webb would have made a great, clean-'em-up, Pope. Except he was Jewish.

Maybe the Catholic Church is following Jesus' advice: "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God."

Well his choice of brands certainly would gain him the support of Marian devotees!

Our Lady of Fatima (cigarettes). Actually, they were a good smoke, a Turkish blend.

Are we making a distinction here between pornography and frank erotica?
