Dear Mr. Rasavage:

Thank you for your recent letter and for the enclosed information on the work of “The Serenellians”.

We appreciate your sharing with us highlights of your work in combating pornography and its destructive moral and spiritual effects. It is especially heartening to know that you are reaching out to those caught up in it and suffering from addictions to it, also offering a specifically Catholic approach to recovery.

On your website, I am happy to see that you have inserted a link to the relevant document prepared by this Pontifical Council, “Pornography and Violence in the Communications Media: A Pastoral Response”.

Please be assured of my prayers and best wishes for you, your family and your work.

Sincerely in Christ,

(Archbishop) John P. Foley

President

Pontifical Council for Social Communications
