It asserts the total freedom of the individual to behave as if the traditions of religion, the wisdom of philosophy, and the realities of biology have no claim on how we live, especially in the area of sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author traces the history of the sexual revolution, from the early days of the Enlightenment through Marxist movements to our own times, and the failure of governments and even churches to defend sound principles for sexual behavior. He records the constant teaching of popes and Church councils and highlights their focus on the integration of sexual morality and personality within the contexts of human nature, marriage, and the welfare of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eExpert Guidance on Sexual Ethics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBishop Elliott acknowledges that Catholic parents, teachers, and pastors need guidance about sexual ethics. And so do high school and college students. To help them understand the teaching of the Church and affirm it, he offers not only the clarity that comes from a thorough understanding of the subject, but also the pastoral sensitivity that has resulted from decades of service to the Church.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book provides historical context spanning from the Enlightenment era through contemporary movements, examining how philosophical and political ideologies have shaped modern attitudes toward sexuality. The work documents papal teachings and Church council decisions, offering readers a comprehensive view of Catholic doctrine on sexual morality within the framework of human nature, marriage, and family welfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMost Reverend Peter J.
