Fr. Mike Schmitz- Elevate Your Mind- Steubenville Rochester 2017​

• Lots of statistics, Porn is common.
• You have seen more porn by age of 18 then all of your Ancestors combined.
• It is a 13 Billion a year in USA, = NFL + MLB or something plus something else

1. Reconciliation withing 24 hours of falling,
2. Adoration more often
3. Adoration to remind of good images

• Use a day counter, days free of porn. When it crashes it will hurt. The VICTORY APP is useful for this.
• We have been using the phrasing of word porn. Food porn, cabin porn, stamp porn, and so on.
• Pornography literally means “wicked writing”.
• The Human body is meant to give glory to God.
• Naked bodies in Vatican, sculptures not meant by artist for lust, that is different.
• A priest said this is pornography, fully clothed woman on magazine with the “do me look”.
• No trial has come to you but what is human. God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it. USCCB
• Not called to walk around with heads away from Woman but respect and see Daughter of God.
• Battle hard, victory greater
  1. Porn makes you always “on”, but to reach same dopamine level harder. Joke about teacher saying why did you not do work, …porn…
  2. Porn hurting some chemical in brain. Mention rat experiment with drug, then mentioned experiment with rat and electrical brain thing. At end of talk mentioned rat park, lots to do, rats chose aginst drug.
• Problems of abuse in porn industry, “They still feel pain”-Owner of group talking about 18 year olds vs 30YO

Unstuck
1. Stimulus(Triggers); People, Place, thing
2. Emotions in head (and how to beat them)

    1. Bored, Work on a project
    2. Lonely, Well call someone
    3. Angry, calmly pray
    4. Stressed, Listen to great Catholic music
    5. Tired: Get to sleep

3. Thought; When are they coming back
4. Chemical Response
5. Body Language
6. Second Thought, what if they find out. The part where we try to stop. IF you try here you will fail.
7. Behavior and result

---

• Purify Environment, get rid of everything problematic near by
• Covenant eyes?
• Porn Effectors: Accessible, Anonymous, Free
• “Be Patient with yourself and Ruthless with your environment.”
• Prayer and confession are good
• Endgame of devil is to discourage you.
• "We don’t like porn, we have to get to point of hating porn and fighting for Jesus.
• Victory App, Lifeteen, Steubenville Fuel, leaveporn.com. xxxchurch.com which sounds super sketchy, but it is a legitimate guide for Catholics to leave porn.
