"I taught Foundations of Theology last year, and took my class to hear a talk in the Hesburgh Library auditorium about pornography. The talk was undoubtedly powerful. A former producer and a former actress spoke about the industry, how harmful it was, and why they left it. The former producer had left after discovering God's love. It was an incredibly moving presentation. But afterwards, in a kind of Q&A, it came up that he had chosen to become Catholic. And the entire audience burst into thunderous applause. It was like a touchdown had just been scored. Honestly, I was a little disturbed by the audience's reaction: they cheered louder for his connection to Catholicism than they did when he shared his conversion of heart."
