Sermon on impurity by St. Alphonsus Ligouri

I read this sermon and felt like St. Alphonsus Ligouri was giving me just the hard slap in the face that I needed: http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/2017/09/23/impurity-st-alphonsus/

It's a little long, but well worth it. It amazes me that I hadn't stumbled across this before in all my research into the Church's teachings on chastity and lust. If St. Alphonsus' harsh words were necessary in the 18th century, when I think Christendom still had a fairly universal understanding that sins of the flesh were serious sins, they are even more vital today, when there are even priests who will tell us that our sins are no big deal, or perhaps not sins at all.

St. Alphonsus, pray for us.
