A. Diagnosis:
"The number one sin among men today is impurity. It is a SPIRITUAL PLAGUE destroying the minds and hearts of men on a global scale... (which) involves
1. pornograpy,
2. immoral actions with oneself,
3. homosexual acts and lifestyles,
4. pedophilia,
5. cohabitation,
6. contraception, and
7. abortion.
These sins leave men powerless and spiritually impotent (p. 223).
"... At the end of the 19th century, Satan unleashed a SPIRITUAL DELUGE of filth, immodesty, and impurity on the world.
B. Treatment
Pope Leo XIII desired to fight it and forged together two of the greater SPIRITUAL WEAPONS the Church has in her arsenal:
1. the rosary and
2. St. Joseph.
This prophetic pope requested that the following prayer to St. Joseph be prayed at the end of the rosary in the month of October:
To you, O Blessed Joseph...." (p. 224).
