'Theological Time Bomb'

David reminds me that I haven't posted anything on the Christopher West thing:

David also asks if G. Weigel or M. Novak have anything to say about it...

Here's Weigel from the introduction to West's Theology of the Body Explained:

"In my biography of the Pope [JP2], I described the 'theology of the body' as a bit of a theological time bomb, something that would explode within the Church at some indeterminate point in the future, reshaping the way Catholics think about our embodidness as male and female, our sexuality, our relationships with each other, our relationships with God — even God himself. I also wrote that the dense, compact audience addresses that make up the 'theology of the body' needed explication for those who weren't specialists in biblical studies, theology, or philosophy.

I am delighted that Christopher West has taken up that challenge in Theology of the Body Explained." (xv).
