This has gone beyond ridiculous.
Canticle, other sources of authority don’t consider concerns about the distribution of pornography “ridiculous”...
Catechism of the Catholic Church 2354: “Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. CIVIL AUTHORITIES SHOULD PREVENT THE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF PORNOGRAPHIC MATERIALS.”

It jumped right into inane, insane and just plain stupid. I don't like Mitt, but this is too ignorant for words.
