All is not lost.
The Church has taken a stand for marriage, love and the spiritual life.
"Fifty Shades Of Grey" runs counter to it. Christians should take note of it.

Sounds like “Last Tango”.

The usual suspects will cry, “Censorship!” However, the Archbishop’s statement is no different in nature from any other movie review. He’s saying that people shouldn’t see the movie because the content is evil. Almost every other reviewer is saying people shouldn’t see it because it’s a terrible movie.

The Left can endorse torture porn all it wants.
The rest of us are not obligated to follow suit.

Will Womyn Studies in colleges hold watch parties? Wonder if this will drive sorority theme parties?

Where is the outrage from the Feminizes? Guess those old gals are enjoying the movie. since it’s as close to sex as they are likely to get.

Sex with a perverted rich billionaire is the ultimate feminazi fantasy.

Our St. Bernard wags her tail when my wife and I hug and likes to cuddle with both of us on the couch. If I tied up my wife and started whipping her, I’m sure the Saint would object and try to protect her Mom. I trust my dog’s natural sense of love and pack solidarity much more the life negating message of this movie.

There was a time when films were rated by the Legion of Decency. A “C” Condemned movie was off-limits to Catholics, under pain of mortal sin.

It seems like a good review/synopsis for those of us curious about the phenomenon, but with no intention of reading the book or seeing the movie.

Some priests say dressing up for Halloween is harmful. Most entertainment is 100% pretend, on purpose. It's like a dream or fantasy, not the real deal, and it wouldn't be any fun if it was. Many husbands pretend to themselves they're in bed with someone else, and many wives have rape fantasies they keep to themselves, but it's not for real. Fantasies are probably more healthful than harmful. What can be very harmful is repression.

I definitely have.
From the reviews that I have seen about the film and the book, they are evil. They have no redeeming qualities to them.
None.
(and I have not seen or read them).

This is just grooming women for what radical Islam has in store for them.

Our St. Bernard wags her tail when my wife and I hug and likes to cuddle with both of us on the couch. My wife's malamute used to jump up on us and force her way between us. Then she would look around casually, as if she was saying, "what's up?" She was a funny alpha female 8-)

What can be very harmful is repression. You can't be very old. I remember the libertine '60s, and that would be an improvement. We have become TMZ nation. It's just gross, and I'm no prude.
