Road Rage and self-abuse

    Does anyone agree that road rage is caused by masturbation? He would have insight as a priest hearing confessions year after year. It makes sense that sins of impurity would cause other sins because a person who commits them makes himself an abode of demons. Kind of like they say that gluttony causes sins of impurity.

  • Why bring up this sermon?  No, I don’t think the one sin is the “cause” of the other!  Maybe it’s reversed?  I can see this sermon for a bunch of guys given to impurity, but it’s not appropriate for mixed company including young children.  Why should their innocent ears even hear words describing impure acts?  Am I to believe everyone who flips me off on the road has just engaged in?????  Yuck.  It’s not a nice mental picture.

  • I doubt it.  But it could definitely lead to a dangerous driving charge.

  • Are you saying that masturbation is the immediate cause for road rage, as it leads to unsafe driving? I could agree on that, but I wouldn't agree on masturbation generally being the cause for road rage, that's just silly. People will throw tantrums for a variety of reasons, be it on the road or not, male and female, all ages. It's a temper and composure thing. Masturbation may be related to bad self-control, but it's not the cause for road rage.

  • I think the biggest problem with a sermon like this is that it would have been better suited for an adult men’s conference and not a regular Sunday Mass sermon where women and children are in attendance

    Catholics call it self abuse. If Fr. called it the M word, there is something wrong with him. (P.S.- I did not listen to 1 second of the video)

  • We had a discussion about a long time ago.  Answer is no.  There's a reason there are seven CAPITAL sins, the sins to which all other sins reduce.

    WRATH/ANGER are a different category than LUST.  If WRATH/ANGER reduced to LUST, then it wouldn't be a capital sin, but would just be an effect of lust.

    Is it possible that being prone to one category can make one more prone to the other, but it's not necessarily the case.

    Even some of the saints who were very pure had issues with anger/wrath.  In fact, the more one has impurity under control, the greater the tendency sometimes to be tempted to wrath or anger.

    Also, there are TWO different effects of Original Sin ... concupiscence (lust, desire) and irascibility (anger, wrath, rage).

    In fact, the men I've known who are more given to sins of impurity tend to be more passive and less aggressive than those who have them under control.

    Indeed! I pity the "seminarians" at Fr. Pfeiffer's "seminary" -- apparently he has reduced the 7 Capital Sins to the 6 Capital Sins.

    The fact that the above poster has SOMETHING TO TEACH Fr. Pfeiffer shows how unfit the latter is to be a bishop, or to train future priests.

    Good points though about the two main appetites (concupiscible and irascible) and the pattern about sins of impurity and passivity.

    Let's put it this way: most worldly men today are complete slaves to their passions and porn. Are they all a bunch of fighters who don't put up with no crap? Or do they take just about everything lying down? I think we all know the answer to that.

  • I hope this was a mission to young men. I note the young altar boys, so this is not ideal. A habitual self abuser is less prone to rage than a sort of effeminate passivity. It is why it is positively encouraged by a certain wicked element with power over us.

    Exactly.  
    Why would the YOU-KNOW-HEWS encourage such vice among the population, if it made them feisty and harder to control? On the contrary, it makes them passive and weak-willed.
    Guess who runs most of the porn industry? The R.S.P.'s

  • There has been many cases of men self abusing while driving their vehicles trying to attract male truck drivers which might cause justified  road rage.  

    May God bless you and keep you
