Love and responsibility
John Paul (Author), H. T. Willetts (Translator)
"Long before he was elected Pope in 1978, Karol Wojtyla was recognized as a remarkably eloquent and resourceful writer on the Catholic tradition in the sphere of love, marriage, and family life. Love & Responsibility, first published in 1960, when he was the Bishop of Ombi, in Poland, reflects the searching yet confident stance that has characterized John Paul II's papacy, from his 1981 encyclical on the family to the Catechism of the Catholic Church published in English earlier this year. He contends that science can tell us much about the relations between the sexes but that we can gain a full understanding only through study of the human person as a whole."--from the inside front flap
