Sessions 4-9 explores love and human sexuality based on Karol Wojtyla's (Pope John Paul II's) foundational work, Love and Responsibility. Author and CCG adviser William E. May makes the critical insights of this book accessbible to ordinary lay Catholics for perhaps the first time and presents it in the context of Pope John Paul the Great's later work, Theology of the Body. Participants will develop important insights for themselves and to share with family members about how easily love can be corrupted making intimacy between persons impossible.
Text: Theology of the Body in Context , Dr. William E. May, Pauline Books and Media

Sessions 9 and beyond: Additional text is under development to support the formation curriculum for evangelization of culture on marriage and family. Participants will continue to study the writings of John Paul II on marriage and family in the context of Theology of the Body (Familaris Consortio, Mulieris Dignitatem, Letter to Families, and the Theology of the Body itself) interspersed with texts that provide insights into mechanisms that creates confusion regarding love, marriage, and human sexuality and that undermine faith.
