Theology of the Body
-
-
Man, though made of body and soul, is a unity. Through his very bodily condition he sums up in himself the elements of the material world. Through him they are thus brought to their highest perfection and can raise their voice in praise freely given to the Creator. For this reason man may not despise his bodily life. Rather he is obliged to regard his body as good and to hold it in honour since God has created it and will raise it up on the last day."
Catechism of the Catholic Church 364

What is Theology of the Body?
-
Theology of the The Body (TOB) refers to a collection of over 129 talks from Pope John Paul II between the years of 1979 and 1984. These spiritual reflections explore topics like, why God gave us bodies, what is love and how do we share love, what we do with our body matters, what God's plan for marriage is, and so much more.
To understand the Church's teaching on some controversial moral topics, it is important to first understand that we are created by God who is the source of all human dignity.
