Almost every controversial issue dividing “dissenters,” inside the Church as well as outside, from the Church’s traditional teaching today is about sexual morality: fornication (sex outside marriage), contraception, homosexuality, divorce, and, most radically of all, abortion.
This lesson seeks to show that the teaching of the Catholic Church on sexual ethics, far from enslaving persons, liberates them and enables them to become fully themselves. The Catholic Church's teaching helps people come into possession of their desires and not be possessed by them. It does so because it is rooted in a profound reverence for human persons, male and female, as bodily, sexual beings, summoned from their depths to self-giving.

This booklet examines the doctrine of intrinsic human dignity and some key Catholic moral decision-making principles as applied to end-of-life care. It also provides practical advice regarding the crafting of Advance Medical Directives and the naming of Healthcare Proxy Decision Makers.
