The following excerpt is from Airwaves from Hell, by Father Frank Poncelet:
If we admit that television is the chief instrument, or source, of influence in our daily lives--that it is our greatest, or one of our greatest temptations, that it is preventing us from building on God-given talents to please Him, then we are obliged by our Catholic Faith to account for the permission we are granting to that source to not only influence or control us, but to damage our spiritual welfare, even to the extent of our losing our souls for all eternity. Can we truthfully say that ever worsening TV fare is compatible with our obligation to know, love, and serve God with our whole hearts, our whole minds and our souls?
Since home television is entirely voluntary, we are all the more responsible for it--for ourselves, children, and those coming into our home. Many good souls have come to this priest, very troubled from being invited to a friend's home and placed in the most uncomfortable position of viewing the usual immoral TV, while the Catholic (?) friend seems totally unaware of anything being wrong with it.
But in our own homes, if such is not assisting our ultimate, spiritual good, how do we justify it? Can we ascertain:
1. That there is no occasion of sin in its use?
2. That the time allotted for entertainment is not more than we are entitled to even if it were morally unobjectionable?
3. That this entertainment does not replace other forms of entertainment more wholesome, or, which would necessarily include other family members?
4. That it does not harm personality, clear judgment, zeal, or other qualities we must sustain in building on the individual talents God has given us?
5. That it is not having an adverse effect on the home environment?
And since home television is not obligatory or necessary, since there are many other worthwhile things which television is replacing or conflicting with, there must be a moral judgment made each time it is approached.
Following is a list of further adverse effects from television gained from various sources and studies:
It diminishes serious regard for personal duties, and encourages procrastination;
New time-saving devices in the home do not produce an increase in charitable works, prayer, Church organizations, but rather, in more TV viewing time;
Loss of the sense of scandal, more permissiveness;
Less serious reading;
Toleration of objectionable language, music, jokes, and of sloth;
Increased preoccupation with gadgetry, spending, self-righteousness, self-satisfaction;
Loss of sense of the sacred.
"They vomit filth! They corrupt the minds of the young and old. They are the boxes created by satan to invade your homes! They have invaded your homes. Take the axe to them!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1974
Our Lady of the Roses Bayside messages:
BRAINWASHING
"It has become the center of brainwashing for your children, and it will
become the mechanical instrument for controlling your mind. At this time I will
not go further into detail, but watch what your scientific man shall command to
destroy his fellow man." - Jesus, April 2, 1977
PROGRAMMED TO KILL
"All medias are now controlled. Your children, by manner of the infernal
boxes in your homes, the televisions, are being now schooled to kill, to sin.
And many parents shall be murdered by their own children! And why? Because you
all failed to recognize what is happening before your very eyes: your children
are being programmed to kill. A steady diet of violence will lead to the spirit
being dulled and the sensitivity being dulled until even murder is condoned." -
Our Lady, May 13, 1978
THEY LAUGH AT YOU
"Are you turning them over to the satanic tube, the television? Yes, My
children, they are learning to kill by the television. They are learning
disrespect for the parents. They laugh at you when you are not watching. . . . "
Veronica - Now I see a
picture forming in the sky. It shows a terrible scene on a television. It shows
a young child butchering a cat. The child watching this goes to the kitchen,
takes out a large bread knife, and—oh,
my God! He's plunging it into the back of his mother! Now the scene is becoming
very dark; I don't see anything else. It's ghastly! - Jesus, March 18, 1989
EVIL PROGRAMMING
"We ask all parents to keep a steady hand on their children. Bar them from
all the insensitive acts being committed on the diabolical tube of satan, your
television. I ask if you cannot monitor your set, to remove it immediately from
your home, for your children will even resort to murder if they continue to
watch the programming." - Our Lady, June 18, 1992
VOMIT FILTH
"They vomit filth! They corrupt the minds of the young and old. They are the
boxes created by satan to invade your homes! They have invaded your homes. Take
the axe to them!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1974
MTV
"This world is polluted with sin. Satan, the devil, is capturing young souls
to take them to hell with rock music and sex. MTV is satan's way. Please don't
listen. It is satanic." - Our Lady,** November 14, 1992
**From the response dictated to Veronica to a teenage girl. See "Two Letters" audio tape. available from Shrine catalog.
PORNOGRAPHY
"Your medias of entertainment are polluted. Your children must be protected
against this pollution in pornography and exploitation of sex.
"O parents, you have the
greatest battle now to keep the souls of your children from contamination. The
eyes are the mirror of the soul, so protect your children's eyes: watch what
they read and what they look upon. Discipline your children and you shall not
cry later as parents." - Our Lady, June 16, 1977
OBSTRUCTS PRAYER
"There will be no excuses accepted for having these in your presence. They
are destroyers of the soul and corrupters of the mind: they take you from your
moments of meditation; they take you from reading the words of the good Book,
your Bible; they present to you a way of life that is not akin to the way of
your God." - Our Lady, September 27, 1975
