***In recent months, two Catholic bishops have begun some extraordinary work against pornography in their Midwest dioceses: ***

Eze 9:6 Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin AT MY SANCTUARY. Then they began at the ancient men which [were] before the house.

Where to start? How about the statues of Michaelangelo in Rome. The statue of David. The tomb of Julius. Sistene Chapel. Last Judgement. The forbidden art of Pompeii.

Should we differentiate between art and porn. Sometimes they look the same.

Of course there is a difference between art and pornography, and I think it is perfectly possible to make a distinction.
