Love & Responsibility reflects the searching yet confident stance that has characterized John Paul II's papacy. He contends that science can tell us much about the relations between the sexes but that we can gain a full understanding only through study of the human person as a whole. Contrasting the "personalist" and "utilitarian" views of marriage and sexual life, he argues that divorce, artificial birth control, and pre-marital sex are incompatible with a truly personalist view of human fulfillment. Throughout the book, he appeals to ordinary human experience as well as his own pastoral experience. His conclusions coincide with the traditional teachings of the Church, but they are written to engage and appeal to all people of good will.

reviewed Love and Responsibility on October 30, 2012 Love and Responsibility
Really great book - especially for a new Catholic. It is nice to see that his views are similar to what I thought before: how love involves the whole person, including all of the possibilities that the person holds (including parenthood) . . . and, thus not limit a marriage to a physical or utilitarian plane. Now I get the Catholic teachings against artificial birth control.
Also interesting to note that he quotes Gandhi's autobiography. (p. 232)
After I began reading this book, I realized that a Catholic man I met over 20 years ago had told me about it. He said that he wanted a marriage based on this book. It still makes sense . . . giving oneself as a gift to the other and God, and accepting the other person as a gift from God.
The book is incredibly absorbing and involving - I highly recommend it.
