Episode Details

Nick Koeppel introduces the theology of the body series with an episode on how Catholics are called to approach dating. Drawing on Karol Wojtyła’s Love and Responsibility and St. John Paul II’s theology of the body, he makes the case that chastity is not a negative list of prohibitions but a positive path to true love, and explains why physical attraction and emotion are the raw materials of love rather than love itself. He walks through what chaste dating looks like in practice, why the question “how far is too far?” needs reframing, the concept of emotional chastity and the pace of sharing one’s interior life, and why online dating requires eventually meeting in person. He closes with practical advice for those who are still single: pray, prepare yourself as a gift for a future spouse, get involved in Catholic young adult communities, and define the relationship clearly.
