Deal with the Pope: Promotion of Chastity

In point number twenty-two, the Pope talks about the promotion of chastity. He mentions that it’s to regards to teachers and leaders in authority to make a atmosphere that promotes chastity. He says that in this way liberty will prevail and the norms of the “moral law” will be safe. It also says that things in social communications that arouses men and encourages low moral standards such as music, words written, and film should be rid of in order to protect a clean mind.

Many people read this and disagree with the Pope. No way would I give up music, movies with sex scenes, trash talk...ect. It’s normal now Pope, get with it, everyone is having sex, no way will I be chastised.
It’s interesting because he is not exactly addressing people to be condemned of their sins of sexual promiscuity but instead is addressing the leaders and telling them to get their act together. The leaders are the people making the hegemony of how this should be. How the girl you have sex with should look like, how love will make you feel, that your man should have a 6-pack...ect. I feel like the Pope is asking the question, what if we created a world around us that recognized chastity and withholding sexual desires for that right person, instead of freely sharing it to anyone.
I agree with this idea and what he’s saying. Sex, lust, and promiscuity is so easy to come by in our culture. Almost every movie is bound to have a sex scene now-a-days. Music talks about making love and sexy someone looks. You can find just about anything you want on the internet by typing in one word. He says that this social communications needs to limit it for men but why not women? Women, just as easy as men, can fall into the same behaviors and actions. Even chick flicks can leave girls longing for that same type of love as the main characters in the movie. Girls will flirt, wear reveling clothes, and search for attention in order to find this love. It’s obvious that everyone needs and wants to be loved but is there something wrong with the way our society makes it it to be like?

I don’t have science or history to back this up, it’s only my reading and interpretations of the Popes words. My last point is this: Sex is all around us, but if we choose to do what the Pope says, we will limit what we see, hear, and say and put our focus on other things. No condemnation, no conversions, just an idea to let flow in our mind that it may move to our actions.
