Spiritual Dangers of Viewing Graphic Content Amid Charlie Kirk’s Tragic Death | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A 33-hour manhunt has come to an end, as the person suspected of killing conservative activist Charlie Kirk is now in custody. Investigators say 22-year-old Tyler Robinson admitted he was responsible. In the hours following the shooting, video of the incident went viral online, shared countless times across social media. Seeing such graphic images can have a detrimental effect — not only psychologically, but spiritually as well. Joining to discuss the spiritual dangers of viewing graphic content is Father Dave Pivonka, President of Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio. Many people may have come across the video — and other violent videos — accidentally, while simply scrolling through social media. Father Pivonka offers insight on how people can protect their hearts and minds from being retraumatized by repeatedly viewing such images. He also shares what steps individuals and communities can take — both spiritually and practically — to move forward in faith and hope, rather than despair. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
