TOTB simple but not shallow
First, take a look at Catholic Ragemonkey . One of the priests there is asking "What are the five most essential spiritual reading books so that you can be a well-informed Catholic?" Comments for them?
When I posted the simplified Theology of the Body comments, I began to be nudged by a concern that the very simplicity would be taken to mean that the subject is not worth pondering.
It may be simple but it is far from shallow.
A few examples of simple concepts include: "God loves me", "I love my wife", "Christ died for our sins." All of them have a great depth to them.
When I say "I love my wife" it means that I must be willing to get on the cross for her. I must be willing to recognize our love in all its aspects as sacred. God's love is reflected through me. It is through my incarnate nature - my body.
We are truly blessed by this teaching of the late Pope john Paul II.
