Pope John Paul II
"We are convinced of the fact that the awareness of the meaning of the body - in particular, of its 'nuptial' meaning - is the fundamental element of human existence in the world."
Theology of the Body
Pope John Paul II


"Man can only fully find himself by making a sincere gift of himself."
Gaudium et Spes, N.o. 22

"Catholic married love always implies the possibility of new life and because it does, it drives out loneliness and affirms the future and because it affirms the future, it becomes a furnace of hope in a world prone to despair."
Of Human Life
Archbishop Chaput
