Pope John Paul II teaches us how knowing the body matters answers everybody’s search for meaning in his Theology of the Body.

But maybe this sounds like you:

  • You’re extremely busy,
  • You don’t have time to read a huge philosophy book,
  • Let alone learn it well enough to teach it to kids!

What is the Theology of the Body?

Between 1979 and 1984, Pope St. John Paul II delivered a series of Wednesday audiences that eventually became known as theTheology of the Body (TOB). This profound teaching offered what St. John Paul called an “adequate anthropology”—an examination of what it means to be human, made in God’s image and likeness, and how that reality is made visible through the human body, giving a Sacramental View of Reality.

Hear What People Have to Say about Us

  • “…TOBET in making this message known is tremendously important…”

    “Young people have grown up in a culture that has worked hard to sell them on the idea that sex is supposed to be safe and fun and free for everyone. You can imagine then how important I believe it was to make sure that they hear the truth about sex: that it is a sacred gift from God, a divine energy in man and a source of blessing in marriage.

    That is why I am a fan and a benefactor of Monica Ashour and TOBET, the Theology of the Body Evangelization Team. The theology of the body of Pope John Paul II is the cure for the ambivalence that surrounds sexuality in our culture and the work of TOBET in making this message known is     tremendously important to healing that ambivalence in our society.”
    Most Rev. David A. Konderla
    Bishop of Tulsa, formerly pastor of St. Mary’s at Texas A&M University

  • “What a delight… more memorable.”

    “What a delight your [Marriage Preparation] book is! If a picture is worth 1,000 words, your 100 or so pictures are worth 100,000 words. And they’re much more memorable.”
    Peter Kreeft
    Renowned Catholic Speaker and Author, Professor of Philosophy, Boston College

  • “…emphasis of parental involvement…”

    “The emphasis of parental involvement in The Body Matters was a deciding factor in our choice to adopt it over other TOB-based programs.”
    Sr. Maria Christi Nelson, O.P.
    Principal of St. Jude Catholic School, Peoria, IL

  • “…authentic in its articulation of the Theology of the Body…”

    “The Theology of the Body Evangelization Team is an admirable effort to make this aspect of our Faith accessible to more people throughout our country. TOBET is authentic in its articulation of the Theology of the Body as well as the teaching of our Church in general. I recommend making use of TOBET’s resources in various ways—especially its helpful website.”
    Most Rev. Daniel M. Buechlein, O.S.B.
    Former Archbishop of Indianapolis

  • “…filled with insight, compassion, lively humor and examples.”

    “[Monica Ashour’s] presentations are filled with insight, compassion, lively humor and practical examples. Coming away from [the weekend], I was filled with thanksgiving to our God and His Church for leading us deeper into Truth and to be more mindful of the need to be a joyful Christian witness in this world.”

    Director of Marriage and Family Life, Parish in IN

  • “…thanks to [TOBET], my entire life-style has changed…”

    “You explained this to us in a way that we could understand and grasp [Theology of the Body]. You didn’t just take this topic and give a seven hour lecture on it. You came up with fun activities and amazing stories to help us understand…. This was the best retreat I have attended and I will always remember it….thanks to you, my entire life-style has changed.”
