So for that reason alone I was wondering how much weight they gave to his works. | |

| May 1, 2015 at 14:01 | comment | added | Matt Gutting | Given that the Theology of the Body material is specifically Catholic, and created by a Pope no less, I'd be kind of surprised if the Orthodox churches took any significant notice of it. | |

| May 1, 2015 at 3:22 | comment | added | shiningcartoonist | This is true. One thing I've seen several times is the idea that humans image God in more than one way. The rational soul, with the ability to Will good or evil, is a way we individually image God; however I have gotten the distinct impression that the act of sex is a communion of two persons that begets a third, imaging the Trinity. These don't seem mutually exclusive to me. | |
