About this sermon
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, Amen. This Catholic homily explores the moral dangers of movies and how they affect the soul. Drawing from the Pseudo-Dionysian principle of the integral good, the priest explains that for an action (or movie) to be truly good, it must be good in every respect—any defect makes it morally corrupt. The homily distinguishes between: Ontological Good vs. Moral Good Physical Evils vs. Moral Evils Simulated Sins vs. Real Sins in Movies Key points covered: Why movies that contain impurity, profanity, or blasphemy cannot be considered “good.” The grave danger of simulated sins (violence, impurity) that can still lead the viewer into temptation. The seriousness of real sins in acting, such as vulgarity and using the Lord’s name in vain. How Christians must exercise heroic virtue in choosing what media they consume to avoid cooperation with sin. The priest reminds us that to truly follow God, we must practice self-denial, detach from sinful entertainment, and carefully discern what we watch to preserve our souls. 🙏 May this message inspire you to seek purity, holiness, and virtue in every aspect of life. ✝️ In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
