About: Dr. E. Michael Jones is a prolific Catholic writer, lecturer, journalist, and Editor of Culture Wars Magazine who seeks to defend traditional Catholic teachings and values from those seeking to undermine them. The Holocaust Narrative is NOW AVAILABLE!!!…
In a recent review of Oppenheimer which appeared in Crisis, Editor Eric Sammons found it “baffling” than any Catholic could watch the sex scenes in that movie without committing sin, “because it is always a sin to watch such a scene. Always, full stop.” To back up his claim, Sammons cites the Catechism of the Catholic Church on pornography:
Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties. It offends against chastity because it perverts the conjugal act, the intimate giving of spouses to each other. It does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, the public), since each one becomes an object of base pleasure and illicit profit for others. It immerses all who are involved in the illusion of a fantasy world. It is a grave offense. Civil authorities should prevent the production and distribution of pornographic materials. (#2354)
In order to use the Catechism to back up his claim, Sammons would have to show that Oppenheimer is pornography, which he does not do. Instead of proving his point, Sammons engages in verbal sleight of hand which obscures the main issue, which is that pornography is an occasion of sin. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia:
Occasions of sin are external circumstances—whether of things or persons—which either because of their special nature or because of the frailty common to humanity or peculiar to some individual, incite or entice one to sin. It is important to remember that there is a wide difference between the cause and the occasion of sin. The cause of sin in the last analysis is the perverse human will and is intrinsic to the human composite. The occasion is something extrinsic and, given the freedom of the will, cannot, properly speaking, stand in causal relation to the act or vicious habit which we call sin. There can be no doubt that in general the same obligation which binds us to refrain from sin requires us to shun its occasion. Qui tenetur ad finem, tenetur ad media (he who is bound to reach a certain end is bound to employ the means to attain it). https://newadvent.org/cathen/11196a.htm
Theologians distinguish between proximate and remote occasions of sin, but they are not of one mind on how to define the terms:
De Lugo defines proximate occasion (De poenit. disp. 14, n. 149) as one in which men of like calibre for the most part fall into mortal sin, or one in which experience points to the same result from the special weakness of a particular person. The remote occasion lacks these elements. All theologians are agreed that there is no obligation to avoid the remote occasions of sin both because this would, practically speaking, be impossible and because they do not involve serious danger of sin. https://newadvent.org/cathen/11196a.htm
Oftentimes the distinction between proximate and remote occasions of sin is numerical. Getting drunk is a sin. A bar may be an occasion of sin. If your job entails going to a bar and drinking with clients, and you get drunk four out of the ten times you drink with them, you should avoid that bar as a remote occasion of sin. If you get drunk nine out of the ten times you go there, you should avoid the bar as a proximate or near occasion of sin. Deliberately frequenting a near occasion of sin is itself sinful, unless you have a sufficiently serious reason, which may be the case if it is part of your job. On the other hand, filmmakers should not put people into an occasion of sin for no good reason, which is clearly what Director Christopher Nolan did in Oppenheimer, where the sex scenes are gratuitous and could have been avoided. But the relatively minor nature of the sex scenes in Oppenheimer militates against viewing the film as pornographic in its intention. That does not mean that it could not be, for some, a near occasion of sin which should be avoided. It is a judgement call for individual viewers to make, knowing their own weakness in this area.

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Occasions of Sin
External circumstances — things or persons — which incite or entice one to sin.
Father Hardon says that pornography is always a near occasion of sin. Is Oppenheimer pornography? No. The sex scenes in Oppenheimer make it objectively speaking at this point in history a remote occasion of sin, which means that at another time and under other subjective circumstances, it could be a near occasion of sin for some. It is most certainly not “a sin to watch” Oppenheimer as Sammons claims.
Sammons’ claim that “it is always a sin to watch such a scene. Always, full stop” is forceful but inaccurate. In warning his readers against laxity, he should not overstate his case. Once we introduce the proper terminology into this discussion, Sammons’ claim reveals itself an overstatement and nothing more than an extended exercise in virtue signaling which places unnecessary burdens on the consciences of those who take his magazine seriously.

The reason for all of the Catholic virtue signaling over the sex scenes in Oppenheimer is the inability of conservative Catholic chest thumpers to face the real issue which the film brings up, namely, Jewish control of the Manhattan Project then and of our foreign policy now, as NATO slouches toward nuclear war with Russia.

Hillard wrote the foreword to the French edition of The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit. No Jew was ever a citizen in any European country before Napoleon emancipated them. Two hundred years of experience shows that those Catholic countries were right and Napoleon was wrong. Does anyone seriously think that Merrick Garland or Antony Blinken is capable of representing the interests of the American people?
