	VOTF to Host Seminar South Coast Today [Massachusetts] October 14, 2006 http://www.southcoasttoday.com/daily/10-06/10-14-06/03religion.htm The Eternal Word Television Network next week will begin a series about Pope John Paul II's "Theology of the Body", presented by the Rev. Roger J. Landry, pastor of St. Anthony of Padua Parish in New Bedford and executive editor of The Anchor. The series, to be broadcast on Channel 56, will run from 6:30 to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Oct. 23-26. The eight half-hour programs will be rerun at 3 a.m. each day for the duration of the series. "Theology of the Body" refers to 129 famous Wednesday catechetical addresses given by John Paul II from 1979-84 on human love in the divine plan. As a whole, they have revolutionized the approach of the Catholic Church to the meaning of the differentiation between the sexes, to human sexuality and to the sacramentality of marriage. The Rev. Landry's series features half-hour programs titled, " Human Love in the Divine Plan: An Overview of John Paul II's Theology of the Body"; "The Original Unity of Man and Woman as Found in the Book of Genesis"; "Purity of Heart Versus Concupiscence: Catechesis on the Sermon on the Mount"; "St. Paul's Teaching on the Human Body: Life According to the Spirit"; "Marriage and Celibacy in Light of the Resurrection of the Body"; "Virginity or Celibacy for the Sake of the Kingdom of Heaven"; "The Sacramentality of Marriage Based on Ephesians 5:22-33"; and "Reflections on 'Humanae Vitae' Based on the Redemption of the Body and the Sacramentality of Marriage." The series was taped at the studios of the North American Catholic Educational Programming Foundation in Johnston, R.I. An online audio version of the eight-part series is available at www.nacepf.net.
