No other vision of the Church today appears to be so difficult to accept as her teaching on sexuality. The world’s view on premarital sex, homosexuality and contraception are only a few examples of the challenge the Church is facing. A great deal of this challenge is due to the misunderstandings of the Church’s position and often to misunderstandings of the objective view of human nature and a realistic approach to morality. Students will be presented with solid foundations on the nature of love and God’s original design of men and women as creatures of communion to reflect God’s image through their love in the concrete acts of marriage.
