Still Running Off at the Keyboard

The Catholic Archdiocese of Omaha plans to fight Internet pornography with education and ministry.
The archdiocese announced Friday that it has formed a 17-member task force "to increase public awareness of Internet pornography and its long-lasting effects on a community."

One of the task force's first priorities is to sponsor educational workshops, scheduled for February, for clergy and other leaders in northeast Nebraska Catholic parishes and schools.

The workshops and other task force work will be aimed at protecting children from porn, helping people avoid becoming addicted and "make healing available to people who are struggling with pornography," said the Rev. Joseph Taphorn, chancellor of the archdiocese.
