Piquant excerpts lifted from Touchstone editors' own reading & listening.
Chastity by no means signifies rejection of human sexuality or lack of esteem for it: rather, it signifies spiritual energy capable of defending love from the perils of selfishness and aggressiveness, and able to advance it towards its full realization.
—Pope John Paul II
Familiaris Consortio (1981)
