From Deacon Godfrey Solomon, Cape Town
Your article “Bid to stop TV porn continues” (July 2) begins with a report of Church leaders calling on Catholics to support a court battle to stop pornography from being broadcast on South African televisions.
A concrete way for Catholics to support this battle is to exercise their economic power: boycott StarSat, firstly by cancelling subscriptions; secondly, throttle their income source by boycotting the products and services of advertisers, and letting them know about it by sending letters or e-mails or leaving comments on their Facebook or Twitter pages which explain why they are being boycotted.
Another lever would be to boycott the products or services of any investors in StarSat.
If the Catholic minority united around such a mission, we could surely attract many other interested groups.
The question is, of course, how to mobilise people. I believe we should start by issuing a challenge to the men’s fellowships around the country: let Catholic men stand up and be counted in protecting their families against this evil!
