Cardinal Pell on "Diabolical" Porn, a Great New Generation of Priests, More.

The third and final interview with Cardinal Pell has been posted:

LifeSiteNews.com: Actually, maybe I'll pursue that further. LifeSite has been reporting a lot lately on the effect of pornography on the culture. What's your opinion on that? How has it affected the culture and what can we do to bring it to an end?

Cardinal Pell: "Well, it's so big and so powerful that I'm not sure we're going to be able to bring it to an end. But I think we should talk about it. And we should try to get sociological data that's accurate. Perhaps even from sources that aren't particularly Catholic, and just show how it closes people in on themselves, and makes it hard for them to relate to others, especially if they become addicted to pornography, how destructive that is for their own sexual life as an adult in an ongoing relationship, adult relationship, you know, a man and a woman. As well as giving out clear moral lines, we need to dip into this, find out about this research and tell people about it. Because, if you conform to the natural way of things that brings genuine benefits."
