Three teachings about the human body from Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body
1) “Sex outside marriage and adultery,leads people to be selfish,and tendency to break promises” shows that we need to understand the importance of sex only to their eternal partner and that we must not be lustful of others but see them for what they truly are
2) “The human body,and sex are good.Sex outside marriage and contraception damage the significance of sex” is important as sex is beautiful as you accept your partner and deepen your relationship though having sex outside of marriage shows you are lusting for one another(adultery) and using contraception is BAD in Christian teachings as it kills new life - as sperm is wasted
3) “Unfaithfulness starts in the mind,we should avoid reducing people to sexual objects and not individuals” is important as we need to keep in mind the Christian teachings,that we need to respect other and not only see them as their appearance but personality and attitude
Sex before marriage,show 3 reasons that the catholic church teach its wrong
1) Sex in marriage is “a unity that,beyond union in one flesh,leads to forming on heart and soul”,this shows that sex within marriage is sacred,doing sex outside of marriage ruins the significance of sex
2) Sex within marriage deepens the relationship between the husband and wife,showing the sign of love between God and humanity.By having sex outside of marriage,you deepen your relationship though after having sex after multiple times it ruins the purpose of deepening bonds
3) Sex is a delicate,intimate,emotionally charged experience.When someone experiences an extremely powerful bond and suddenly is abandoned,it causes great pain making the person more selfish and lustful towards others.This is why sex must only be done with married people.
Two catholic teachings on homosexuality
1) Homosexuality is viewed as bad in the catholic church as you arent accepting the image God has created you in - this can be considered as a mortal sin
2) Under no circumstances can they be approved in the Catholic Church as two members of the same sex cannot reproduce,”they close the sexual act to gift of life”
