We’ll talk about sexual decision making with a bit more moral complexity than “don’t do that” and “because the Church says so.” In the first of this 2-part episode, we discussed some concepts that will help situate our conversation in moral theology. In this second part, we will discuss insights from moral theology that can help us navigate some of the more nuanced aspects of the world of sexuality. Using these frameworks in Catholic moral theology, we can better navigate our lives as sexual beings. A life that is consistently being illuminated by current sexual science.

Who am I and why do I do what I do? What is this podcast about? Who is it for?
