Previous Stories Deadly Sins: Lust Modern America has turned-away from a time of shame, to a cultural celebration of sin. Nowhere is this more evident, than with the sin of lust. Lust was declared a sin by Pope Gregory the Great in the fourth century. Today, the church is wrestling with a more challenging world of sin as lust goes high-tech, and prime-time. Arnold Keller - "Lust is about excess. Lust is about inappropriate sexual behavior. It includes voyeurism. topless bars. Exhibitionism is another one. It's a very shame-ridden addictive disorder." Sexual images bombard us. America, it seems, is addicted to love. or is it lust? Fr. John West - "The capital sin of lust is a call for us to live a healthy, a balanced and integrated sexuality. not just to do what we feel." But how do we know when we've crossed the line from natural desire to obsessive addiction? Believe or not, you can take a lust-quiz on the Internet. And depending on your answers, you may be referred to sex addiction counseling. Arnold Keller/sex addiction therapist - "It would include craving, intense craving. It would include unmanageability of the addiction, of the ritualization of the addiction. and it would also include issues of low self-esteem, painful feelings of shame and guilt." Fr. John West/Detroit Archdiocese - "Maybe it takes being very courageous if someone's living a lifestyle that's destructive that we take the risk to confront, to encourage, to as gently as we can, to ask people to get the help they need." Arnold Keller/sex addiction therapist - "There is help for people who feel they have no hope." In fact, we found sixteen groups meeting in metro Detroit each week, devoted to sex addiction, or sex and love addiction. The hotline number for people who need help is 810-997-7518. There are countless other meetings for partners of sex addicts, and sex-addicted couples. It's an issue that may go as high as the White House as a nation investigates lurid accusations involving Monica Lewinsky and the President. Arnold Keller/sex addiction therapist - "It appears that President Clinton and Senator Packwood and others really suffer from sex addiction, and one could say that he could use a meeting!" The sex-aholics anonymous group goes through a twelve-step program, just like alcoholics anonymous.
