Course Description

Understanding the theological and ethical underpinnings of Catholic perspectives on human sexuality, intimacy, relationships and sexual ethics is valuable for anyone who seeks to integrate such perspectives in their work in a variety of fields, in future research into such topics, and in their own lives. This unit explores such issues by considering them in relation to our understandings of God, the human person, and human society, as well as to various approaches to moral reasoning. This unit is necessary for anyone seeking such knowledge as part of their course learning outcomes. This unit addresses a variety of contemporary issues related to Catholic perspectives on sexual ethics.
