'- 4 Looking at life The truth about pornography by Ft. Jan Bednarz, Pastor of St James Catholic Church Pornography is a problem for millions mil-lions of men and women across this country simply because it is so much more available than it was just 10 years ago. It seems easy for some of us to hide our heads in the sand and ignore the harm this material mate-rial causes in our communities. Not until we become educated about the long term effects of porn and the message it conveys, will we be able to understand how this material ma-terial desensitizes our perceptions about women, men, children, family and the proper role of the gift of sex in our lives. Our tolerance of this material runs contrary to all decent, traditional standards. If we knowingly know-ingly allow ourselves to financially support this industry and businesses Awards given environmental projects The Utah Board of Oil, Gas and Mining is accepting nominations for 1998 Earth Day Awards recognizing recog-nizing projects and innovations in environmental technology that go beyond what is required by regulation. regula-tion.

Vernal 787011 that are involved in this industry, we become part of the problem, not the solution. This message is even more profound pro-found for those who hold strong religious re-ligious convictions. The God in Bible repeatedly calls on His people to live holy lives. Both Bible believing be-lieving Christians and Jews can agree on this point. In the Torah, we are told by God to "be holy for I am the Lord your God" (Lev. 20:7). In the New Testament, Jesus exhorts His followers to "sin no more" (Jn. 5:14). The Bible speaks against lascivious las-civious behavior and shows it has no place in the lives of people dedicated dedi-cated to following God. In fact, in the country of Iran where Islam is the state religion the production of porn is a capital offense, which could include the death penalty. Card.

In chapter "sexology and ethics" for therapy - one point is: "People, and particularly young people, must be set free from the belief that sexual material are an area of incomprehensible, incompre-hensible, well-nigh calamitous phenomena, phe-nomena, in which they find themselves them-selves mysteriously implicated and which threaten their equilibrium: instead in-stead we must reduce sex to a set of phenomena which though of great moment and great beauty are totally comprehensible and so to speak, ordinary." or-dinary."
