Theology of the Shoddy

Many complain about the “Spirit of Vatican II,” a progressive attitude about doctrine and liturgy which makes poorly-grounded appeals to the texts of the Council. I propose that there is also a “Spirit of the Theology of the Body,” a progressive attitude towards sexuality which makes poorly-grounded appeals to the texts of John Paul II’s catecheses: such as the Theology of the Body Institute's defense of tongue-kissing between unmarried couples.
