In recent years, several new and important documents regarding the Church's position on sexual matters have been issued by the magisterium. This newly updated edition of Catholic Sexual Ethics: A Summary, Explanation, & Defense examines the Church's teachings with regard to sexuality in light of these documents: the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Veritatis Splendor, Evangelium Vitae, and others. If you are looking for a definitive and comprehensive account of the Catholic Church's position on all aspects of human sexuality, including the origin of life, homosexuality, and birth control, this book is an invaluable reference.
