Description
“You Are Not An Angel – What Is Love?” explores the four kinds of love and what makes authentic human love. Online Catholic course.
Why Are We So Confused?
“I love steak!”
“I love my truck!”
“I love my fellow man.”
“I love my wife!”
Are these statements saying the same thing? Do I love my wife the same way I love steak? Do I love my wife the same way I love my fellow man? Certainly, the word “love” has at least slightly different meanings in each of these statements.
But our confusion isn’t just a matter of semantics. Sometimes we do treat people like steak. We often use our emotions to justify doing so, assuming that if we feel love for somebody, we must be entitled to all of the benefits of a “loving” relationship.
To make the confusion even worse, our culture has defined love in very selfish terms.
How can we hope to find real love – to love as Jesus loves – in the face of all of this confusion?
There is a Solution! Introducing the Theology of the Body!
Pope John Paul II recognized the confusion that our culture would face today way back in the 1980s. He dedicated his Wednesday audiences from 1979 to 1984 – five years! – to teaching about the human body and its role in God’s plan for our lives.
The further challenge is that over the course of five years, the teachings of Theology of the Body became complex.
The Theology of the Body has the answers to our questions. We just have to wade through it, unpack its meaning, and apply it to our lives. But who has time to do that?
Theology of the Body Made Simple
The classes in the You Are Not An Angel course teach you the most important elements of Pope John Paul II’s teaching on love in simple, easy to understand terms.
Good teaching means taking complex concepts and presenting them in ways that are easy to understand and easy to apply to your life. That’s what I have dedicated my life to.
In this series, I break the Theology of the Body down into its most basic concepts and present those concepts in ways that are readily grasped. I then help you apply those concepts to your life.
This program makes the Theology of the Body simple!
You Are Not An Angel – What Is Love?
What You’ll Learn
If we are to understand how our bodies are part of our call to be images of God’s love, we had better know what it really means to love. This class explores the four understandings of love that we get from the ancient Greek tradition and how they can build an authentically human love. We’ll also cover the role of emotions, such as “falling in love,” and how to best use our emotions to find true love and true happiness.
