Archbishop Thomas Collins

God, Sex and the Meaning of Life

Theology of the Body

• From The Interim - by Tony Gosgnach, Assistant Editor, Mar. 13, 2007
  

[Archbishop] Collins said with respect to the traditional family, the church has to remain focused on the central reality that marriage is a covenant between a man and a woman, faithful in love and open to the gift of life.  "It becomes, therefore, very important to appreciate how that great reality can be strengthened.  I would say one very, very great way of doing that would be for people to study the teachings of Pope John Paul II in the Theology of the Body (an integrated vision of the human person - body, soul, and spirit)...I think it's very important to popularize that, where the intense writings of the Holy Father are made more accessible to everybody."...
