Crash Course Catholicism
What does it mean to be a human person? What does love actually look like? What does the body reveal to us about God and the meaning of life?
Theology of the Body isn't just about sex. It's about what it means to be human.
In this episode, we explore some of the foundational ideas that St. John Paul II returns to again and again in his catechesis. We introduce key themes including the dignity of the body, the meaning of love, JPII's famous claim that the opposite of love isn't hate: it's use.
