The curse of pornography

A Canadian bishop who apparently dealt well with the sex abuse crisis in his diocese has been caught with child pornography. What makes a "good" person, like this bishop or Fr Kit Cunningham, do something so wicked? Most pornography addicts tend to compartmentalise their lives. Some addicts get bored of "soft porn" and a relatively small number move on to illegal material. Others are only attracted by illegal material. In either case, we may conclude that pornography addiction is damaging and dangerous.
