Will You Take the Pledge?
— Posted by John (October 28, 2008 at 9:41 am)
Chastity isn’t just for single people.
It’s not just for young people.
It’s for everyone.
Or, as our friend Bryan Kemper wrote on his blog (and on a T-shirt) earlier this year, Chastity Is For Lovers — and who among us does not love?
Last week I came across a page on a UK site that is looking for people — men and women, young and old, married and unmarried — to pledge to live chastely. This is a great thing to do any time, but especially this week, which is Pornography Awareness Week.
I signed it. Will you?

CatholicTV To Air New Episodes of Show on Marriage
Starting in March, CatholicTV will air new episodes of the show on marriage called “The Future Depends on Love”. The new episodes will feature a variety of guests.
CatholicTV, is a nationally-broadcasted television station headquartered near Boston.
Here is a list of the guests and themes of the new episodes which will start in March.
March 2- Erika Bachiochi: Marriage and Social Justice
March 9- Father Mark O’Connell: The Metropolitan Tribunal and Annulments
March 16- Katie Dardis: Healthy Marriage Begins with Chastity

March 30- Marianne Luthin and Allison LeDoux: Project Rachel - Healing Families After the Trauma of Abortion
The show is hosted by Dr. David and Dr. Angela Franks who are both professors at St. John’s Seminary in Brighton, MA. With divorce statistics higher than ever and teenage pregnancy rates up for the first time in 15 years (source:CNN.COM), Catholic parents and young people are concerned about the messages that Catholics receive from the media and their friends regarding sexuality and marriage.
In response, the Catholic bishops of Massachusetts, being well aware of the rise in divorce, sexual immorality, adultery, and abortion began a new initiative from which this television show sprung forth.
The show is viewable each week on Monday-5:30P.M., Tuesday-1:30P.M., Wednesday-3:30A.M., Thursday 11:30A.M., 8:00P.M., and Sunday-3:30P.M.
