The third paragraph of the article is a false gospel. It is not the Gospel Paul preached. It is closer to spiritual pornography.

Those who come to Christ through faith in Him, rejoice in the work of the Cross.

I would suggest you are completely missing the point. Christ died in our place and bore the suffering that we should have endured. What may sound like "pornography" to you is nothing more than the grace of God to others.

Col 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

He took OUR sins and nailed it to HIS cross. All our sins, shame, reproach was laid on Christ our Lord. This is the great and merciful sacrifice of God the Son. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin. And that includes all the baggage that goes along with it. This is what the early fathers believed and it's the gospel.

Now if you would like to discuss the new and "improved" Catholic version of how Christ came, lived a good life, and died for everyone's sin just so that we might know what true sacrificial living is, and how we should live such a peachy-keen sacrificial life like His and go to heaven; then you're welcome to post some links to the most current Catholic writers who believe such nonsense.

But it's apparent that we have differing views of what pornography is.
