THE 725 Theology of the Body and Contemporary Moral Issues
This course takes as a foundation the vision of the dignity and vocation of the human person presented by Pope St. John Paul II in Man and Woman He Created Them, the Theology of the Body, and applies it to contemporary moral issues in the field of sexual morality (such as responsible parenthood, pornography, modesty, marital fidelity, divorce, etc.) and the field of medical morality (such as abortion, reproductive technologies, euthanasia, organ transplants, etc.). Additionally, this course exams how the Theology of Body can serve in a more general way to foster a culture of life and advance the work of the new evangelization.
