It’s not always easy to talk about sex, the human body, and the church, but did you know Pope John Paul II completed a whole study of the subject ? The resulting work:  The Theology of the Body.  It may sound somewhat cryptic, but a New Jersey man I sat down with last week, helps to make it easier to understand.

Damon Owens is a husband and father of six who founded Joy Filled Marriage of New Jersey.  With his wife Melanie, he also teaches Natural Family Planning.  He also teaches young adults about Pope John Paul’s message in the Theology of the Body, through the Theology of the Body Institute.  To learn more about class offerings and speakers, visit  http://www.tobinstitute.org.  

As it says on the website, “Theology of the Body Institute seeks to penetrate and permeate the culture with a vision of true sexuality that appeals to the deepest yearnings of the human heart for love and union.”
