50 Shades of Grey - Is utter rubbish. My fiance best freind received it from her boy freind, I cant understand the craze about such trash.

This is my view on it

the Church couldn’t possibly be any clearer in terms of the teaching on this little thing called pornography—something serious enough to be described as a serious offense, as stated in paragraph 2354 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, and the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials.

Also St Paul warns us about this in his readings he makes it very clear that books like these are harmful to any relationship and marriage.
Ephesians 5: 1 - 8

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children.
2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But fornication and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is fitting among saints.
4 Let there be no filthiness, nor silly talk, nor levity, which are not fitting; but instead let there be thanksgiving.
5 Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man, or one who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for it is because of these things that the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
7 Therefore do not associate with them,
 
I had not heard of 50 Shades, so I googled it. Unfortunately I can not unknow what I now know. …
Hey, 1ke, there is a cure. We are exposed to more than we’d like in this world. Whenever a lustful thought or scene enters my mind I immediately ask the Lord Jesus to take it away, and He always does. Always! And most thoroughly! So I have come to depend on Him in that way. I suggest anyone who knows what this book is about ask our Lord Jesus to take that away from their minds and memory. He will! He wants us to be pure, in this impure world, and to be so is impossible - except that with, God all things are possible.

As to those who have actually allowed this book into their homes and tolerated it being read in their house, perhaps something more along the lines of an exorcism is in order. Because you have opened the door to evil and welcomed it in your life and your home.
 
^ I agree, and i only read the first page of it at Target. Those hideous books make a complete mockery out of literature, and they’re an affront to anyone’s purity, not to mention intelligence.

I really hope the next book bandwagon is something way more respectable, but the way things seem to be headed, i highly doubt that will happen.
