Explain how pope john paul ii influenced the ways that catholics ask about human sexuality. Describe the role that scripture and tradition play as catholics seek to understand the purpose and ends of human sexuality. God created adam and eve was made from one of his ribs. Natural law ordering of the universe as we see outlined in the bible. Human sexuality has a place in this order procreation. Thomas aquinas borrowed aristotle everything that was created has a specific end (death and afterlife) human beings should only be used for its proper end. Concupiscence - strong desire ; especially : sexual desire. Birth control or contraceptives are against the natural law. People are picking out aspects but not looking at the whole picture. John paul ii not right to use those terms. Every individual choose the acts that they want to become the person they want to be. Technological change made youth a bit more distant.
