Questions answered this episode:

  • What are some examples redirecting our desire (eros) in everyday life?
  • Is there anything inherently wrong with sleeping in the same bed as a long distance girlfriend when we visit each other? Is the near occasion of sin still a sin if I don’t end up sinning?
  • Where is this quote by John Paul II from: “It is the duty of every man to uphold the dignity of every woman”?
  • Ask Christopher West is a weekly podcast in which Theology of the Body Institute President Christopher West and his beloved wife Wendy share their humor and wisdom, answering questions about marriage, relationships, life, and the Catholic faith, all in light of John Paul II’s beautiful teachings on the Theology of the Body.
