COVID-19 and Church through a Theology of the Body Lens

I have been studying Theology of the Body (TOB) heavily during this Coronavirus period. I completed the TOB 1 Head & Heart Immersion Course online by the Theology of the Body Institute, taught by Christopher West. And I did the TOB Virtual Conference in May. So, I am going to comment on some relevant topics using what I've been learning from TOB. This first one is my reflection on the mass shutdown of churches due to the response to the Coronavirus (COVID 19). Apologies in advance if I step on any toes.

If you're not familiar already with Theology of the Body, it is Pope John Paul II's deep reflection on the spiritual significance of the human body, providing an adequate anthropology, insight into the Trinity's life, and the sacramentality of our bodies, particularly our sexuality and marriage. Watch my video about Christopher West and TOB for a run-down of how TOB has influenced my personal and counseling theory and practice: https://youtu.be/zYuWX-Plwp8
