Episode 059 – Fighting the Pornified Culture with Fr. Allen Hoffa

The Church Podcast

In this episode of The Church Podcast, Christopher sits down with Fr. Allen Hoffa, priest of the Diocese of Allentown, Pennsylvania, and speaker and advocate with Integrity Restored, through the NFCYM Podcast Network. Fr. Hoffa shares how nearly two decades of parish ministry — and a defining moment involving a student whose private images were shared without consent — led him to dedicate the last ten years of his priesthood to traveling the world addressing the epidemic of pornography. As a priest, football player turned lineman for truth, and co-architect of the Lumen Christi Commission in his diocese, Father Hoffa brings both pastoral depth and practical urgency to one of the most critical issues facing families and the Church today. Together, Christopher and Father Allen explore the five A's that make pornography the most pervasive threat in our culture, what a comprehensive diocesan strategy actually looks like in practice, how parents and parish leaders can begin having honest conversations without shame or fear, and why the Church's silence on this issue is itself a victory for the enemy. They also discuss betrayal trauma, the connection between pornography and human trafficking, and the recent Supreme Court win that may reshape how pornography is regulated online.
