What Catholics Believe About the Body
Posted on October 2, 2024
Did you know Christians have a radical view of the body? While society often swings between two extremes—either dismissing the body as insignificant or idolizing it—Christianity offers a balanced and profound understanding of the unity between body and soul.
Fr. Mike, drawing on St. John Paul II’s teachings on the ‘cult of the body,’ explains that while we are called to care for and love our bodies, they are not our ultimate purpose. He says we can get caught up in focusing on health, beauty, and physical perfection. Our bodies are good, des
tined for redemption, but they should not be the center of our lives.
