Since our regular Theology on Tap day--the last Thursday of the month--for the month of March is Holy Thursday, Theology on Tap is moved up a week.
Thus, as we prepare to enter into Holy Week, you are all invited to join other young adults for Theology on Tap this Thursday as we discuss one of the heavy crosses that many young adults bear: the struggle to be chaste in a culture in which people are used and consumed.
WHAT: Theology on Tap is a Catholic speaker series for young adults, 18 to 39.
DATE: This Thursday, MARCH 21, 2013
PLACE: Zio Fraedo's Restaurant (23 Harbor Way, Vallejo)
COST: The event itself is free, but we will be accepting donations for our speaker on behalf of the Dominicans (the Order of Preachers). Please be generous.
TOPIC: "Porn Kills Love"
Pornography has become ubiquitous in our culture. It's consumption and accessibility have never been at a higher rate. Some would sell this as a good thing for one reason or another. But, what are the real effects of pornography on society, relationships, and the individual? What does pornography actually do to us? Is there any hope for those ensnared by it's grip? Br. Gabriel will try to help us understand the destructive ramifications that pornography has caused, and continues to cause, in our culture. He will also try to provide practical ways to free ourselves from this insidious vice.
