Lutheran pastor and author Nadia Bolz-Weber has argued that there should be no shame in consuming pornography, especially if it is "ethically sourced."
In a recent interview with the New Jersey-based LGBT publication Out In Jersey, Bolz-Weber discussed her upcoming new book on the issue of sexual ethics and the church.
In discussing pornography, Bolz-Weber explained that while she recognizes that there are "issues of justice and exploitation within the porn industry," she still does not believe that the "consumption of pornography should be shamed."
"There is ethically sourced porn. There are people who say it's sexual immorality, but if you take Liberals and Conservatives who show outrage and made a Venn diagram of those who consume pornography, you'd see a huge overlap," said Bolz-Weber to Out in Jersey.
"There are people who consume pornography in a shame based way, it would be horrible if people know because they are those who are morally outraged as Liberals or Conservatives. That's a lonely place to exist, let's take that part out of it. I'm not going to shame people when they already feel ashamed."
Bolz-Weber's comments have drawn criticism from some, including conservative Christian author Rod Dreher, who argued that Bolz-Weber "inadvertently indicates why progressive Christianity has no future."
"If there is a more cartoonish example of progressive Christianity than a foul-mouthed lady pastor praising consumption of 'ethically-sourced porn,' I can't think of it," wrote Dreher.

So sad to see how far the main line denominations have fallen. The screaming
lady, and I use that term loosely, pastor in Pittsburgh and now this. Decay from the inside. God will not be mocked.I pray for their salvation.
Would you like some hedonism with that heresy?
Go and sin no more = Go and sin some more.
To be fair, I do not think Luther wanted anyone calling himself Lutheran. I think he preferred the name of Christian - but point taken.
yep, or, reptilian.

Be rooted in Christ!
There are many Lutherans who are NOT part of the ELCA!

You can watch porn.
You can make porn.
But don’t kid yourself.
The worst is lying to others.
And/or appears in some porn...
I was raised Missouri Synod Lutheran. Give me that, ‘Old Time Religion’ any day of the week.
The people ‘running’ our churches these days are certifiably INSANE!
Is Ethically Sourced Porn like Dolphin-Free Tuna?
This ‘pastor’ must’ve invested heavily in those Japanese robot sex dolls, LOL!
Wait! Are we talking about a female pastor here? I think I found the problem.
Let me guess....ELCA!
The cult that morphed from a religion.
Dude....it’s a she....
She’s really not a “Lutheran”. She’s a Luciferian.
The ethics part consists of being paid to do on video what they’d be doing anyway. Queers are notoriously promiscuous.
Next up: Deathless executions.
No, just the ELCA bunch. They’re basically a bunch of heretics. LINOs (Lutheran In Name Only).
Luther wanted to remove shame from sin; these folks frankly seem to be following him better than the “conservative” crowd.
I presume you mean the “Sin boldly” quote.
