Comments on: Are video games killing our young men? https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/2016/10/26/video-games-killing-young-men/ The New Zealand National Catholic Newspaper Sun, 16 Apr 2017 23:20:36 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.6.1 By: John https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/2016/10/26/video-games-killing-young-men/#comment-16535 Thu, 27 Oct 2016 23:36:26 +0000 https://www.nzcatholic.org.nz/?p=14014#comment-16535 YES, TV, VIDEO, IS….

“NEVER MAKE THE VIEWER FEEL BAD”,
……………is the underlying rule of all screenwriters,
…………..and this is the basis for the many false trends in all youth, particularly those affected by the US Hedonism.

Breeding a whole generation of young men and young women
who know nothing else, means educators are stuck with it,
and parents are stuck with it.

Facing one’s greatest inadequacies may be tough but it is the ONLY way to build character,
self-reliance and a sound basis for leadership skills so necessary for honesty, and for
what it takes in government.

Without fibre society fails, and other more productive societies take over. It’s
the same old story. 300 Spartans held back the hordes, and Horatius is almost
a byword for those who have it, where it counts.

That means a churc h needs to practice fasting and self denial, and put prayer
in top place, before TV, video, and video games.
A return to ascetical practices, the theology of St Ignatius, wouldn’t hurt
the church one bit.
