Love and Responsibility Ep2: Using vs Loving

We begin an exciting series unpacking the wisdom of St John Paul II in his celebrated text, Love and Responsibility. Nicole delves into the 1st sub-chapter, The analysis of the verb 'to use'. St John Paul II highlights the key difference between loving and using and that when 2 people work towards a common aim and good, this precludes the possibility of subordination of one will to the other, avoiding the situation of 'use'. As he notes, 'the only proper and adequate way to relate to another is love'. Episode coverage: Chapter 1, The Person and the Sexual Urge/The analysis of the verb 'to use'.
