Planting evil seeds

[GIR]

I was just thinking, my dad used to say about pornography that even the slightest glance burns an image into your memory. Later, you may be thinking about something or looking at something innocent and unrelated, and it suddenly makes a connection in your mind, and that image rises to the surface to tempt you, or perhaps you’re in a stressful situation, and suddenly that image pops into your mind.

Well, I suffer often from intellectual doubt, and I’ve found that this is also true of pretty much any information. You may read an anti-Catholic tract, or watch some documentary on TV, and at the time, you dismiss it as silly and irrelevant, but, as I’ve experienced all to often (and still experience to some extent) these thoughts can rise to the surface and tempt you. You think “Oh my goodness, is it true? Maybe the church is evil… maybe there’s nothing to it after all” etc.

It’s just like Jesus said about planting seeds, but these are evil seeds.

Anyone else have these experiences?

were always going to be tempted but we can overcome with God’s help from giving in.Don’t go out of your way to be tempted.With much prayer you will get stronger and previous sins won’t affect your ability to resist.Whatever you hear about the Church being this or that is not new.The Church has been under attack since it inception and Christ tells us it will till the end.you don’t always have to defend your position but always hold on to the truth.

My own entirely personal take is that we cannot go through life afraid to be exposed to things that aren’t approved. How would Chesterton have known what to write about in “Heretics” if he hadn’t examined what the heretics wrote?
