Ep 192 Pt 1. St. John Paul II & Margret Sanger: An imagined Dialogue at a Cultural Crossroads

Welcome to Handbook for Humanity! This show comes at a time when certain beliefs about the human person are once again being funded by U.S. federal tax dollars without a vote of the people. Why is this happening and which side of this particular issue of Life do we fall on? We hope this episode will help you answer those questions by exposing you to 2 points of view that paint a clear picture of the two sides in the battle for Life. In the first part of the show Adele, Becki and our content partner Colby Allen sit down to share how one of the most unusual and thought-provoking conversations ever featured on this podcast came to be. It all began with the doctoral dissertation of Doctor Sarah Denny Lorio, who explored a bold and imaginative question: What would it look like if St. John Paul II, author of The Theology of the Body had a conversation with Margaret Sanger - the founder of Planned Parenthood? These two towering individuals had many apposing ideas that still impact our views on the vision of woman, sexuality, freedom and the human body. So listen in as our team talks with Dr. Denny-Lorio to find out what an imagined conversation between these 2 delivered to paint a clearer picture for the questions of: What is true freedom, How do women achieve better health and what is the meaning of intimate relationships.
