Theology of the Body

Body as a great mystery

Body does not presents a series of problems that we can solve by detached analysis.

Self-control is not the entire point of sexual love, celibacy is not the goal of marriage!!

Goodness of sexual pleasure

Sexual passion, in papal teaching, appears mainly as an obstacle to authentic love.

How arduos and ambiguos a process it is for any of us to become mature sexually, how unstable and shifting are our patterns of sexual identity. how unpredictable and vagrant are our desire and craving, as well as our revulsion and resistance

Many who are married the pleasure and comfort of sexual love are most needed precisely when least avaible, not because of fertility rhythms, but because of sickness and anxiety and serparation and loss.

REVISTING HUMANAE VITAE!!!!

Critics:

Reduce the theology of the body to a consideration of sexuality

JPII dwells on the nuances of words in biblical narratives and declarations, while fantasizing an ethereal and all-ecompassing mode of mutual self-dontation

For the pope human sexuality is observed by telescope from a distant planet.

JPII selects and extrapolates from specific texts without sufficient grounding or explanation

The JPII's theology represents a mode of theology that has little to say to ordinary people because it shows so little awareness of ordinary life.

The theology of the body is fundamentally inadequate to the question it takes up.

Teaching does not adequately respond to the anxieties of those who seek a Christian understanding of the body and of the huyman sexuality and practical guidance for life as sexually active adults.
