Castidad

Are there still people who believe in chastity? Can a representative of a Church challenged by abuse scandals have anything sensible to say on the subject? Erik Varden has given a positive response by offering us this honest and hospitable book, which is wise without being moralistic. Chastity does not deny sex, instead it guides our vital instinct towards its supernatural end. A truly Christian vision of chastity embraces the human being in his entirety, understanding his desire for plenitude, freedom and fertility. We often sense that our body is pointing towards something that transcends it. Any apparent satisfaction of a desire is painfully provisional. How can we achieve fulfillment? This is the question that is at the heart of this book that proposes unexpected - and beautiful - clues to find the answer.
