About this episode

Dr. Sri discusses God's design for sensuality and the distinction between authentic love and mutual use.

God created sensual desire. It is powerful, beautiful, and good. But what happens when that desire becomes detached from love and commitment? Dr. Sri continues unpacking Pope John Paul II's profound insights on the key difference between authentic love and subtle forms of mutual use. _ _ For full shownotes, visit Ascensionpress.com/Allthingscatholic, or text ALLTHINGSCATHOLIC to 33-777 for weekly shownotes sent to your inbox.
