Q&A: On Keeping Custody of the Eyes, Avoiding the Occasion of Sin, Sexual Ethics, Mortification and Loving God etc.

Hi Jerome,
Just wanted to say thanks for the... essay on keeping custody of the eyes - how many souls are endangered by the hyper-sexualised society we sadly find ourselves living in nowadays?
Also, thank you for affirming - as I truly believe (but sadly few agree) that the marital act can only be used lawfully for the purpose of procreation and not for recreation. I believe this is engraved in the heart of all Christians - but sadly most refuse to acknowledge the truth. Our Lord, Our Lady and the beloved disciple lived their entire lives in total chastity - what greater example do we require to prove how highly God esteems this blessed virtue?
Thanks...

Answer: Hi, concerning the article on "Custody of the Eyes", it is adviced that you read it in its entirety if you have not already done so:

I hope you also have implemented the extensions listed and that you do not surf the internet with images enabled, and that you have youtube videos blocked etc. so that the screen can only be seen (without the movable images) and only the audio heard. It is important to make these implementations, but from experience, most people will not do so due to their evil attachment to images.
If you surf the internet causally with images enabled (such as various websites), or watch movable media such as television or movies or youtube, then you have not actually made any of the changes that was noted as necessary for salvation in order to avoid this occasion of sin. (I am not accusing you of anything... I am just making sure whether or not you are a wise man; that you care for your soul and do not expose it to spiritual ruin as most fools do today, even those calling themselves Traditional Catholics who are totally addicted to watching even more secular and dangerous media, movies and tv series.)

Pope Innocent XI, Various Errors on Moral Matters #61, March 4, 1679: “He can sometimes be absolved, who remains in a proximate occasion of sinning, which he can and does not wish to omit, but rather directly and professedly seeks or enters into.” – Condemned statement by Pope Innocent XI.

Since the Church condemns putting oneself in the deliberate occasion of sinning as a mortal sin (by being unable to receive a valid absolution), and the internet and media is full of immodesties and occasions of sinnings, this obviously means something must be done about it and that one cannot keep exposing oneself to this danger without making some changes.

Again, see the article for all the solutions:
http://www.catholic-saints.net/spiritual/#How-to-control-your-eyes

Concerning your question on the damage done to souls by immodesty, this can only be fully known to God; but I think it is true to say that every man and woman that have ever get exposed to it (the immodesty), have been negatively effected. Most people have evidently fallen into some sin because of it, such as sins of lust in deed or thought, and immodest dress; and also by approving it (i.e., not condemning it), as can be seen in many apostate Vatican II churches, where so-called Catholic women and girls dress like sluts and the "priests" allowing it and hardly ever saying a word against it.

And yes, sex should be for procreation only since this is most pleasing to God and the best way since it seeks to please Him first and foremost, and not ourselves.
Indeed, God loves purity and holiness so much -- and that one tries to live according the flesh as little as possible -- that He will exalt those in Heaven who practice it in infinite degrees above those who indulge in fleshly pleasures yet manages to save themselves. Also, the more one loves God in this life, the more will one seek His consolations and caresses only: "A person worthy of the Holy Spirit's consolation is one who seeks no other consoler but God." (Words of The Blessed Virgin Mary, in The Revelations of Saint Bridget, Book 2, Chapter 22) That is why virginity, chastity, continence and widowhood is above and greater than the marriage state and sexual relations - and why mortifications and penances and seeking consolations only from God is of infinitely greater worth than seeking consolations and indulging in fleshly pleasures of the world and flesh.

https://against-all-heresies-and-errors.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-marital-act-performed-for-pleasure-only-is-condemned-as-a-sin.html

https://against-all-heresies-and-errors.blogspot.com/2017/05/venereal-pleasures-above-all-debauch-a-mans-mind.html

It is not wrong or a sin to seek other consolations than God since we are weak human beings, but if we always prefer our own comforts from the world, we are missing out to find any true comfort from God, since this is only given those who fervently seek Him.
Monasteries and convents are usually called "lax" when they have fallen away from their first rule and started to give themselves lots of "comforts" contrary to the original, more severe rule, and not a few monastics have ended up in Hell in the end because of it -- as one can read in Sr. Josefa Menendez description of Hell -- since constantly pleasing the flesh leads the spirit further away from God towards self and sin. The same applies to worldlings:

"Today, I saw a vast number of people fall into the fiery pit . . . they seemed to be worldlings and a demon cried vociferously: 'The world is ripe for me . . . I know that the best way to get hold of souls is to rouse their desire for enjoyment . . . Put me first . . . me before the rest . . . no humility for me! but let me enjoy myself . . . This sort of thing assures victory to me . . . and they tumble headlong into hell.' " (Sr. Josefa Menendez, October 4, 1923)

Since seeking consolation from God rather than the flesh and the world means greater intimacy with Him even in this life, this obviously means that having "fun" here on earth thus means to have lesser glory and intimacy with God in the next life - and of more easily being damned by becoming negligent in the spirit. That is why suffering and mortification is the way of the saints, but since this is hard for the flesh, most people shun it (and I my self struggle! although, I force my self to move forward as detailed in this post - https://against-all-heresies-and-errors.blogspot.com/2017/09/valid-confession-question-with-follow-up-on-avoiding-occasion-of-sin-and-penance.html).

Earlier E-mail Conversation & Questions and Answers

Dear Jerome...
I was wondering whether you might be able to recommend me a traditional Catechism, as the Geoffrey Chapman 'Popular and Definitive Edition' (Editio Typica) which I own is evidently aimed at a modern readership and is a good deal less than satisfactory.
Grateful thanks for your consideration, and thank you again for the blog...

Answer: 1. The Catechism of Trent and Penny Catechism, both available online, are better sources for learning the Catholic faith:

Catechism of Trent

They can also be bought online:

https://www.amazon.com/Penny-Catechism-Christian-Doctrine/dp/0895557525


2. The "Geoffrey Chapman Catechism" seem to be a Vatican II Catechism. Are you aware of that Vatican II is a departure from Catholic teaching and that the Vatican II sect and its antipopes are not real popes?

See these important and related articles:

https://prophecyfilm.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-new-mass-vs-traditional-mass.html

There's only one Catholic Church.  The Vatican II sect is not the Catholic Church, and Francis is not the pope.  That's covered in the material.  To be a true Catholic you must be a traditional Catholic.  One must not go to the New Mass.  It must be avoided under pain of grave sin.  There's no obligation to attend Mass in this situation, and those who have no non-heretical Traditional Catholic Church and Mass should stay at home on Sundays and become convinced on the issues.  One must reach the point where one is committed never to attend the New Mass again, rejects the Vatican II sect and its antipopes as non-Catholic, believes in Outside the Church There is No Salvation without exception (no “baptism of desire”, no salvation for those “invincibly ignorant” of the Catholic faith), rejects NFP, won’t support any heretical priests, etc.  We also recommend that you pray 15 decades of the Rosary each day and the Hail Mary frequently.

Also, one of the most important things you can read on the website is the following section from the Spiritual Info article:
http://www.catholic-saints.net/spiritual/#How-to-control-your-eyes

I hope you look into the material...

Bad confessions are the road to hell for many; and of persons who have made sacrilegious confessions

BAD CONFESSIONS ARE THE ROAD TO HELL FOR MANY; AND OF PERSONS WHO HAVE MADE SACRILEGIOUS CONFESSIONS

St. Alphonsus: “Of Persons Who Have Made Sacrilegious Confessions. I. IN the chronicles of St. Benedict it is related that a solitary named Pelagius, who kept sheep for his poor parents, led a life so exemplary that all called him a saint. He lived in this manner many years. After the death of his parents he sold the little property that they had left him and retired into a hermitage. He, unfortunately, consented once to an unchaste thought. After this sin he fell into a state of great melancholy because he would not confess it, lest he should lose the good opinion of his confessor. While he was in this state of melancholy a pilgrim who passed by said to him: "Pelagius, confess your sin: God will pardon you, and your peace shall be restored." The pilgrim then disappeared. After this Pelagius resolved to do penance for his sin, but not to confess it, flattering him self that God would perhaps pardon him without confession. He entered into a monastery, in which he was immediately received on account of his reputation for sanctity, and there led an austere life, crucifying himself with fasts and penances. At last the hour of death came: he made his last confession; as he had always through shame concealed the sin during life, so he also concealed it at death; he received the viaticum, died, and was buried, with the reputation of a saint. On the following night the sacristan found the body of Pelagius out of its grave. He buried it again; but on the second and third nights he found the body out of the grave. He called the abbot, who, in the presence of the other monks, said: "Pelagius, you were always obedient during life; be obedient now also in death. Tell me, on the part of God, if it be the divine will that your body be kept in a particular place?" The deceased, howling, said: "Alas! I am damned for having concealed one sin in confession. O Abbot, look at my body!" And behold! his body appeared like red-hot iron sending forth sparks of fire. All fled away; but Pelagius called back the abbot, that he might remove the consecrated particle that still remained in his mouth. The abbot removed the sacred host. Pelagius then told them to take his body out of the church and to throw it on a dunghill like a dog. It was done as he desired.

“II. In the annals of the Capuchins we read of one who was esteemed a saint, but made bad confessions. Being seized with a grievous illness, he was told to go to confession. He sent for a certain Father, to whom he said, "My Father, you tell me to go to confession; but I will not make any confession." "And why?" said the Father. "Because," replied the sick man, "I am damned; for I have never confessed all my sins; and now God deprives me of the power of making a good confession." After this he began to howl, and to tear his tongue, saying, "Accursed tongue, that would not confess sins when you were able." And thus, gnawing his tongue to pieces, and howling, he breathed forth his soul into the hands of the devil. After death he became black as a cinder, a terrible noise was heard, and the room filled with an intolerable stench.

“III. Father Seraphine Razzi relates that in a city in Italy there was a married lady of noble rank who was reputed a saint. On her deathbed she received all the sacraments, and died with a high reputation for sanctity. After death her daughter, who always recommended to God the soul of her mother, heard one day, while she was at prayer, a great noise at the door. She turned round, and saw a horrible figure all on fire, and exhaling a great stench. At this sight she was so much terrified, that she was on the point of throwing herself out of the window; but she heard a voice saying: "Stop, stop, my daughter: I am your unhappy mother, who was considered a saint; but for some sins committed with your father, which I was ashamed ever to confess, God has condemned me to hell. Do not pray to God for me any more; for you only increase my pains." She then began to howl, and disappeared.

“IV. The celebrated Doctor John Ragusino relates that a certain very spiritual woman practised meditation and frequented the sacraments, so that she was considered by her Bishop to be a saint. The unhappy woman looked one day at a servant, and consented to an unchaste thought; but because the sin was only one of thought, she flattered herself that she was not bound to confess it. However, she was always tortured with remorse of conscience, and particularly in her last illness. But even at death she concealed the sin through shame, and died without confessing it. The bishop who was her confessor, and believed her to be a saint, caused her body to be carried in procession through the whole city, and through devotion got her buried in his own chapel. But on the following morning on entering the chapel he saw a body above the grave, laid on a great fire. He commanded it in the name of God to tell what it was. A voice answered that it was his penitent, and that she was damned for a bad thought. She then began to howl and to curse her shame, which had been the cause of her eternal ruin.

“V. Father Martin del Rio relates that in the province of Peru there was a young Indian called Catharine, who was a servant to a respectable lady. Her mistress induced her to receive baptism, and to frequent the sacraments. She often went to confession, but concealed some of her sins. Just before her death she made nine confessions; but they were all sacrilegious. After her confession she said to her fellow-servants that she concealed her sins. They told her mistress, who, on questioning her, found out that these sins were certain acts of impurity. She therefore told the confessor, who returned, and exhorted his penitent to confess all her sins. But Catharine obstinately refused, and got into such a state of desperation, that she turned and said to her confessor, "Father, leave me; take no more trouble: you are only losing your time;" and then she turned her face to him and began to sing some profane songs. When she was near her end her companions exhorted her to take the crucifix. She answered: "What crucifix? I know not Christ crucified, and I do not wish to know him." And thus she died. So great were the noise and stench during the night, that the mistress was obliged to leave the house. The deceased afterwards appeared to one of her companions, and said that she was damned on account of her bad confessions.

“VI. Father Francis Rodriguez relates that in England, when the Catholic religion flourished in that country, King Augubert had a daughter, who, on account of her rare beauty, was sought by many princes. Being asked by her father whether she wished to marry, she answered that she had made a vow of perpetual chastity. The father obtained a dispensation from the Holy See, but she resolutely refused to accept it, saying that she wished for no other spouse than Jesus Christ. She only asked of her father permission to live a solitary life in his house. The father, because he loved her, complied with her request, and assigned to her a suitable maintenance. In her retirement she began to lead a saintly life in meditation, fasting, and works of penance, frequenting the sacraments, and frequently going to the hospitals to attend the sick. While she lived in this manner she fell sick in her youth and died. A certain lady who had been in her governess, while at prayer one night, heard a great noise, and saw a soul in the form of a woman in a strong fire, and bound in chains, in the midst of a multitude of devils. The soul said, "Know that I am the unhappy daughter of Augubert." "What!" replied the governess; "are you damned after a life so holy?" "Yes," replied the soul; "I am justly damned through my own fault. "And why?" "You must know that in my youth I took pleasure in listening to one of my pages, for whom I had an affection, reading a certain book. Once, after reading the book for me, the page kissed me; the devil began to tempt me, till in the end I committed sin with the page. I went to confession, and began to tell my sin; my indiscreet confessor instantly reproved me, saying, "What! has a queen been guilty of such a sin?" I then, through shame, said it was a dream. I afterwards began to perform penitential works and give alms, that God might pardon me without confessing the sin. At death I said to the confessor that I was a great sinner; he told me to banish the thought as a temptation. After this I expired, and am now damned for all eternity." She then disappeared amid such noise, that the whole world appeared to be falling in pieces, and left in the chamber an intolerable stench, which lasted for many days.

“VII. Father John Baptist Manni, of the Society of Jesus relates that a certain lady had for several years concealed in confession a sin of impurity. Two religious of the Order of St. Dominic passed by the place. The lady, who was always waiting for a strange confessor, entreated one of them to hear her confession. When the Fathers departed, his companion said to the confessor of the lady that while she was confessing her sins he saw many serpents coming from her mouth, but that there was a large, horrible-looking serpent, whose head only came out, but afterwards went back entirely into the lady’s mouth. He then saw all the serpents that came out return again. The confessor went back to the house of the lady, and on entering heard that she had died suddenly. Afterwards, when he was at prayer, the unhappy woman appeared and said to him, "I am the unfortunate person that made my confession to you; I committed one sin, which I voluntarily concealed from the confessors of the place. God sent you to me; but even then I could not conquer the shame of telling it. He therefore struck me suddenly dead when you entered the house, and has justly condemned me to hell." After these words the earth opened, and she fell into the chasm and instantly disappeared.

“VIII. Saint Antony relates that there was a widow who began to lead a holy life, but afterwards, by familiarity with a young man, was led into sin with him. After her fall she performed penitential works, gave alms, and even entered into a monastery, but never confessed her sin. She became abbess. She died, and died with the reputation of a saint. But one night a nun who was in the choir heard a great noise, and saw a spectre encompassed with flames. She asked what it was. The spectre answered, "I am the soul of the abbess, and am in hell." "And why?" "Because in this world I committed a sin, and have never confessed it. Go, and tell this to the other nuns, and pray no more for me." She then disappeared amid great noise.

“IX. In the annals of the Capuchins it is related that a certain mother, on account of having made sacrilegious confessions, began at death to cry out that she was damned for her grievous sins and for her bad confessions. Among other things, she said that she was bound to make restitution to certain persons, and that she had always neglected to do so. Her daughter then said to her, "My mother, let what you owe be restored; I am satisfied to sell all, provided your soul be saved." The mother answered: "Ah, accursed child! I am damned also on your account; for I have scandalized you by my bad example." Thus she continued to howl like one in despair. They sent for one of the Capuchin Fathers. When he arrived he exhorted her to trust in the mercy of God; but the unhappy woman said: "What mercy! I am damned: sentence is already passed upon me, and I have already begun to feel the pains of hell." While she spoke thus, her body was raised to the ceiling of the chamber, and dashed with violence against the floor, and she instantly expired.” (The complete ascetical works of St. Alphonsus, pp. 571-78)

“In the life of Father John Ramirez, of the Society of Jesus, it is related that, while preaching in a certain city, he was called to hear the confession of a girl who was dying. She was of noble birth, and had apparently led a holy life; she went frequently to Communion, fasted, and performed other mortifications. At death she confessed her sins to Father Ramirez with many tears, so that he was greatly consoled. But, after returning to the college, his companion said that while the young lady was making her confession he saw a black hand squeezing her throat. The Father immediately returned to the house of the sick lady, but before entering he heard that she was dead. He then returned to his college, and while he was at prayer the deceased appeared to him in a horrible form, surrounded by flames, and bound in chains, and said that she was damned on account of a sin committed with a young man, which she voluntarily concealed in confession through shame, and that at death she wished to confess it, but the devil induced her, through the same shame, to conceal it. After these words she disappeared, amid the most frightful howling and terrific clanking of chains.” (The complete ascetical works of St. Alphonsus, vol 15, p. 548)

“A similar misfortune befell a sinner who was damned on account of having deferred his confession. Venerable Bede relates that this man, who had been fervent, fell into tepidity and mortal sin, and deferred confession from day to day. He was seized with a dangerous illness; and even then put off his confession saying that he would afterwards go to confession with better dispositions. But the hour of vengeance had arrived: he fell into a deadly swoon in which he thought that he saw hell open under his feet. After he had come to his senses again, the persons who stood round his bed begged him to make his confession, but he answered: "There is no more time; I am damned." They continued to encourage him. "You are losing time," said he; "I am damned, I see hell opened; I there see Judas, Caiphas, and the murderers of Jesus Christ; and near them I see my place, because, like them, I have despised the blood of Jesus Christ by deferring confession for so long a time." Thus the unhappy man died in despair without confession, and was buried like a dog outside the church without having a prayer offered for his soul.” (The complete ascetical works of St. Alphonsus, vol 15, p. 528)

“Tell me, my sister, if, in punishment of not confessing a certain sin, you were to be burnt alive in a caldron of boiling pitch, and if, after that, your sin were to be revealed to all your relatives and neighbors, would you conceal it? No, indeed, if you knew that by confessing it your sin would remain secret, and that you would escape being burnt alive. Now, it is more than certain that, unless you confess that sin, you will have to burn in hell for all eternity, and that on the day of judgment it will be made known to the whole human race. "We must all," says the Apostle, "be manifested before the judgment-seat of Christ" (i. Cor. v. 10). "If," says the Lord, "you do not confess the evil you have done, I will proclaim your ignominy to all nations; I will discover thy shame to thy face, and will show. . . thy shame to kingdoms" (Nah. iii. 5).” (The complete ascetical works of St. Alphonsus, vol 15, pp. 549-50)

St. Alphonsus: “There is a more terrible example related in the "Teresian Chronicles." A girl fell into a sin, which she was ashamed to confess, and afterwards made three sacrilegious Communions. After the third Communion she was suddenly struck dead before the altar. Her countenance appeared, not black, but full of splendor. All cried out; "A saint! a saint!" and her body was carried in procession through the whole neighborhood. But mark what happened, and tremble at the thought of receiving Communion in mortal sin. An angel appeared to a Teresian Carmelite friar, who was in his cell, during the night on which the body of the unhappy girl lay unburied in the church. The angel conducted the Father to the church, and commanded him to open the mouth of the deceased. He opened her mouth, and found the three Hosts that she had received in the state of sin, and placed them in a ciborium. After the removal of the Hosts her countenance appeared no longer bright and resplendent, but black and horrible.”

St. Alphonsus: “It is necessary to communicate; but, as has been said, it is necessary to communicate in a state of grace; otherwise the Communion will become a poison, or rather a halter to strangle the unworthy communicant. St. Cyprian relates that a Christian woman who, in order to conceal herself, had through fear of the persecution done an action contrary to faith, came to the church, and went to Communion without confessing her sin. But what was the consequence? The sacred Host remained in her throat; the throat instantly swelled in such a manner that she began to tremble from head to foot, and so expired.”

St. Alphonsus: “Listen to this example: A boy used often to go to confession; and every one took him to be a saint. One night he had a hemorrhage, and he was found dead. His parents went at once to his confessor, and crying begged him to recommend him to God; and he said to them: "Rejoice; your son, I know, was a little angel; God wished to take him from this world, and he must now be in heaven; should he, however, be still in purgatory, I will go to say Mass for him." He put on his vestments to go to the altar; but before leaving the sacristy, he saw himself in the presence of a frightful spectre, whom he asked in the name of God who he was. The phantom answered that he was the soul of him that had just died. Oh! is it you? exclaimed the priest; if you are in need of prayers, I am just going to say Mass for you. Alas! Mass! I am damned, I am in hell! And why? "Hear," said the soul: "I had never yet committed a mortal sin; but last night a bad thought came to my mind; I gave consent to it, and God made me die at once, and condemned me to hell as I have deserved to be. Do not say Mass for me; it would only increase my sufferings." Having spoken thus, the phantom disappeared.” (The complete ascetical works of St. Alphonsus, vol 15, p. 167)

Why One Must Block Images Etc. And Not Only Block Bad Websites

“You are right that some websites like daily mail are chock full of provocative images and it would be in everybody’s good interest to block sites like this using a web browser blocker or something.”

Blocking websites is good for those who have an evil habit of falling into porn etc. or that simply refuse to surf with images off or use flash blockers (see links below), but if people “only” block bad sites and still continue surfing with images on and having flash/html5 enabled at all times, then they will still expose themselves to the danger of falling into sin. If a person doesn’t want to start surfing the internet with images off, and with flash and html5 disabled from automatically playing, as I fear most won’t do, then there is a problem.

Pope Leo XIII, Exeunte iam anno (# 10), Dec. 25, 1888: “Now the whole essence of a Christian life is to reject the corruption of the world and to oppose constantly any indulgence in it…”

How to Block all Ads with an Adblocker
• “A lot of sites like Breitbart have any number of advertising disguised as news articles and oft times herald by a grotty little picture. Those sponsored links don’t seem to get blocked by basic adblocking tools. Now one thing that annoys me a bit where there are ads for a fortune teller on Cath-info who is dressed as a priest. A person can right-click and say the ad is offensive or just change adblock settings.”


Why one must Block Images and not only Block bad Websites
• “You are right that some websites like daily mail are chock full of provocative images and it would be in everybody’s good interest to block sites like this using a web browser blocker or something.”
