Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body--Question for my Catholic brothers and sisters?

Question

I have heard parts of it and have LOVED it. Has anybody here read it all and what would you suggest would be a good way to go about reading (the language used is a little tough.) My fiancee bought it and we want to read it together in preparation for our marriage next year. Any suggestions? Thanks :)

I guess what I meant was.....is there anything that I could use along with it to help explain it as we read it?

Positive answers only please--

It seems that saying the word "Catholic" can't even be done in peace w/o people seeing it as a red flag to harass.

Answer 1

Hi, yes this great work can be a little daunting because of the richness of it`s language and length, try this link to see if it helps;

you could try getting together with others and your Priest to examine this in depth.

Answer 2

I think our Diocese had some sort of presentation on it.
I heard about it but didn't go to it.
So, you may want to check with your diocese...

Also, a lot of people have been saying good things about Christopher West's books about marriage, sexuality, etc and he references Theology of the Body a lot.

Answer 3

It is great. I have not read it all, but I have seen the program on EWTN based on the book, and have read some of it too. Very good. Everyone should read it.

Answer 4

You could read it in the bath, that's quite relaxing.

Answer 5

It, like the "pope's" body today, is in eternal hell for believing the false gospel of works of the catholic cult.

Answer 6

My suggestion is to leave the Catholic Church and become a true Christian.
